What is Pfsense Custom Captive Portal?
A Custom Captive Portal is an add-on to Pfsense that allows you to allow certain users access to your network while restricting other users.
To create a Custom Captive Portal, first you need to install and configure Pfsense. Then add a new firewall rule that allows the traffic for the custom captive portal port (80 by default) from the outside world. Inside the firewall rule, create a new port forwarding rule that forwards all http traffic on port 80 to the custom captive portal server.
Configuring the captive portal is simple – just create a simple web page with your company’s branding and content, and point it at your custom captive portal server. You can then use your web browser to log in and access your network.
