Description

When using either MAC or IP address bypass in Captive Portal for a Guest WLAN setup, when entering a MAC address for example, and allowing it to pass, when the user connects they are never able to browse the internet(or any network). Windows client does show that they are connected but with no Internet. DNS doesnt resolve but the client receives an IP address.
The known solution is to restart the Captive Portal service after each entry that is added or removed.

Not a blocker but there needs to be a warning to the admin that the Captive Portal service needs to be restarted after each addition/deletion of a MAC or IP address that's added.

Perhaps the service can restart after each save? Not sure if this impacts other users currently using CP.
