Hi, I need to implement a firewall with bridged interfaces that offers captive portal (authentication before opening the traffic). I need bridged intefaces because we are a Computer Science department and we sometime have traffic other than plain IP, need multicast, IPv6, etc, so bridged interfaces (layer 2) is the best. So far I have been using ipf and it has been running fine for many years. Now the country regulation imposes that we have authentication for every users of Internet, so I need a captive portal (redirect http request to an authentication portal before opening the firewall). Is there any solution that exists? I looked at pfSense, but captive portal does not work on bridged interfaces; it's one or the other. Any other suggestion? Best regards, Olivier
