Dear all, sorry for making a new thread. Finally I got WRT310N in my hand for testing. I follow David Rees Suggestion to use LAN port and not use the internet port at all. it works. I can get IP from pfsense DHCP. So my current setup like this :
Client --> AP --> pfsensebox --> proxy (on port 8080) --> internet The first problem that arise is when I use default rules for LAN it doesn't work(I can't ping proxy from client) . I change the source to any and it works, but trying adding source network and specify my LAN network it works too, so I think it safer than using source:any. The problem that I still face is when I set the proxy on my browser, my browser or pfsense seems confused. the browser status seems like it working but after several seconds it failed. the browser said the internet connection seems not working. The steps that can make me connect are: 1. do direct connection, open a site, and captive portal will open 2. login and I'll be redirected to the site that I open, and set browser's proxy and I'm connected to internet. I have no idea why this is happen. What I know captive portal will redirect any traffic to the portal page when the connection is not authenticated including connection to proxy above pfsense box. any idea how to solve this? if I have to make transparent proxy I'll make a new proxy before the main proxy and it will parenting to the main proxy, but I wish there are better solution. beside that for the authentication. what is the advantage of using RADIUS over pfsense local user manager? thank you in advance. best regards, -- Muhammad Panji http://sumodirjo.wordpress.com
