multiple captive portal with openwisp2 and pfsense

[Alessandro Masotti]

Ciao,

volevo chiderti se fosse possibile gestire da un unico server (uno con openwisp2 e uno con pfsense) più captive portal con grafica personalizzata?

ti faccio un esempio specifico:
Ho 18 strutture e vorrei avere una grafica personalizzata per ognuno di loro.

Hello,

is possible to manage from a single server (one with and one with openwisp2 pfsense) more captive portal with custom graphics?

I make you a specific example:
I have 18 facilities and I would like to have a custom graphic for each of them.

Hi Alessandro,

I'm no Pfsense expert but you should be able to create more "zones" and use a different login page for each.

Ilaria and Dario, if you are reading this, do you agree with the previous statement?

Hi Alessandro,

I fully agree with Federico, you can create more "zones" in the captive portal service and use a different login page for each.

Yes, but in many structures in different places how i can do that?
I can bring al the structures with VPN but the connection slow down.
It's possible to mix OW2 + Pfsense to create this combination without slow down the connection?

So you want to use Pfsense on site to avoid the VPN, right?

OpenWISP2 cannot automatically manage PfSense yet. We'd like to add a configuration backend for it but we have not funding to do that right now.

You can install and manage PfSense manually.

Otherwise you can use coova on OpenWRT.

Yes I want to avoid VPN.

you say to install coova on server or on AP?

[Federico Capoano]

Coova can be installed either on OpenWRT or debian, ubuntu, ecc.

PfSense zones have to be assigned to a specific interface, so you would have to create a different interface, my colleagues suggest a different vlan for each group.

For 18 facilities you mean 18 different buldings? Are these on the same layer 2 network?

Federico

[Alessandro Masotti]

yes, are differt buildings (hotel/resort)

[Federico Capoano]

We don't think what you want to do is possible.

You mainly have 3 possibilities:

- use a layer2 VPN to tunnel your users through a single captive portal

- setup a captive portal for each layer 2 network you have, each captive portal can talk to a central RADIUS server

- include a lightweight captive portal (like coova) in every OpenWRT/LEDE access point, each captive portal can talk to a central RADIUS server
