Captive Portal does not work after upgrade

Description
I upgraded to the latest snapshot 14 December but it failed the captive portal
access.
Whenever I activate captive portal, the user is not redirected anymore
to the portal page and so, no internet joy.
When I deactivate captive portal, internet connection is working fine.
I tried reinstalling from scratch using the same snapshot but no joy too.
Any help?

- Category set to Operating System
- Target version set to 2.0
- Affected Version set to 2.0
I'm almost certain this is a duplicate of #1096, which describes the actual cause, but will leave it open to make sure that fixes it.

Same here happened on snapshot 14December, 13 December, 8December.
So now I'm using December 1 snapshot.

Updated by Jim Pingle almost 14 years ago
As a test, I have built a custom firmware image without the TSO patch that Chris mentioned. It would help us narrow down the problem if you could test with the appropriate firmware below to see if the portal works when using that image:
amd64 - http://pingle.org/files/pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA4-20101212-2328.tgz
i386 - http://pingle.org/files/pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA4-20101214-1319.tgz
If it works with that firmware image, then we will know it is related to the other open ticket (#1096).

Thanks a lot.
However, I tested this firmware : it does not solve the redirection issue (the redirection to the auth page).

Just for information : the captive portal works with pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA4-20101201-2252.tgz
I will test the latest firmware (1202, 1203, etc) tomorrow (I'm in europe)...

- pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA4-20101208-0906.tgz = redirect to :8000 works
- pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA4-20101208-2005.tgz = it does not
So, there is something new in "20101208-2005" which breaks packet forwarding...

What was new at that time is the patch that was backed out of the firmware updates I built above, and it will also be gone from the next new snapshot. I deactivated the patch in our repo and started the builders on a new run late this afternoon. It will probably be late tonight or early tomorrow AM before the new image sets are uploader, give it a try tomorrow and see if it works.

Tested pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA4-20101216-0237.tgz : no redirection... :(
Does this update include the (anti-)patch ?
Updated by Jim Pingle almost 14 years ago
Yes, that update should no longer contain the patch in question. So it may not be related to that one after all.

Hello,
Found a solution : # /sbin/sysctl net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1
I think the regression came from 4f76b144
Thanks

Can you try this (on a shell) : # /sbin/sysctl net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1
It works for me.
Updated by Karsten H. almost 14 years ago
Same problem here! As soon as I enable captive portal there is no redirect and no more internet access on that interface.

same with 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Fri Dec 17 01:17:30 EST 2010
Haven't tried the shell command yet. Will try this later that day.

Hello Thomas,
thank you very much! The captive portal is working now.
What does that switch do? - Why does the captive portal work with that option enabled?

Please test new snapshots it should be fixed.

I've just tested 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Fri Dec 17 14:14:00 EST 2010
(pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA4-20101217-1036.tgz) : it does not solve the bug...
Thanks

That date is an hour before the fix was committed and comment here. "test new snapshots" always means a date of at least a few hours after, if not the next day.

I just upgrade to 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Sat Dec 18 09:51:58 EST 2010, and still the same problem.
Thanks

Hello,
I've tested today with pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA4-20101219-0151.tgz (built on Sun Dec 19 05:36:18 EST) : bad news, the redirection to the captive portal does not work.
A difference : the hack "net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1" does not work too.
Thanks
Updated by Ermal Luçi almost 14 years ago
I fixed it right now.

Beaware that fastforwarding and CP will never work together on pfSense from now on.
