Hi Dwane,
in my oppinion, there's not much documentation on that topic available.
But it's working that way:
1. Receives an IP Packet
2. Blocks it until authenticated / Answers with HTML Website if Port 80
is talked to
3. Receives credentials from User
4. Authenticates with internal Database / Radius Server
5. Stores logon Information ( MAC-Adress / IP Adress / Timestamp)
internally to revoke access after an configured time
6. Allows Access to requested resource and opens an popup window to logout.
regards
Christian

We are wondering if there is any information available that explains
in detail how the Captive Portal on pfsense works? We know it’s
function, but we are wondering what is happening behind the scene?
Any documentation would be nice.
Thank you
Dwane
