Re: [pfSense Support] Captive Portal Question

[Chris Flugstad]

I was going to ask what hardware you were running this on.  We have a rather large list of MAC addresses in our captive portal and it works fine.  Its a dual opteron/4 gigs of ram.   Probably overkill, so it wont help you know what you need, but if your running 128  ram or even 256, its bare bone minimum.

What is the limitation on the number of mac-bypass entries? And is what I am seeing expected with 300 entries? I'm sure someone will chime in with the precise ipfw limitation, but this is mostly going to be dependent on your system's performance specs - memory & CPU. 2. If I should not be doing this with 300 clients, is anyone using another FOSS product to do MAC authenticated control outbound from their firewall? Possibly, but [as I hope you know] MAC filtering only keeps honest people honest, it is in no way any form of authentication. At that number of unique users, you may be better served by setting up an actual RADIUS server to do proper authentication and AAA instead of manually maintaining tables. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
