Hello! I've been using PPTP VPN for quite a while and have just recently
started using the Captive Portal. However, when I enable captive portal,
all traffic from PPTP clients does not pass. I have a rule to allow ALL
traffic from PPTP clients into the LAN. Also, the LAN is where I have
enabled the captive portal. I have tried assigning the range of
MACs'/IP's that are assigned to PPTP clients in the pass-through section
of the captive portal but still no traffic passes.
When connected remotely via PPTP, I can open up a new shell and start a
continuous ping to an IP on the LAN segment. When I enable the captive
portal, all pings are lost. Stopping the CP and all pings come right
back. The only host I have access to in this situation is the pfSense
box itself. Even when traffic is blocked from the LAN, I can access the
web configurator.
Is this a bug? Do I need to have any special firewall rules? Help!

Hello,
I just solved a similar problem. Go to Services:Captive portal:Allowed
IP Addresses and add the IPs that need to talk to each other. I'm not
exactly sure how this would work for VPN, but I had to do this to get
pcAnywhere to work again. You have to add the IP in the captive portal
interface, not just the NAT and firewall rules.
This isn't very clear, so it is more of a problem with documentation and
usability than an actual bug.
I hope this helps.
