Hello, Thank you for your answer.

Yes, I didn’t go through the SSL certificate and LetsEncrypt sounds grate,
I totally forgot about that project. Need to try that.

I was convinced that packetfence generates self-signed certificate
automatically and after turning on HTTPS option I would have to accept that
cert in a web browser and would be able to see the portal login page.

I’m also afraid about this:

“Force the captive portal to use HTTPS for all portal clients.Note that
clients will be forced to use HTTPS on all URLs.This requires a restart of
the httpd.portal process to be fully effective.”

Does it mean that when I implement SSL and turn the HTTPS option on, users
won’t be able to browse classic HTTP websites? What about other services
like internet radio, games etc?

Best regards
