Captive portal on V16

ShunzeLee,

have a look at this thread:

https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/f/web-protection/82643/change-block-page

The behaviour with v16 has changed and we need to vote a feature request. It was working very nice on v15 but on v16 we have the possibility to manage captive portal for single firewall rules, but the blocked page is a problem because user does not read the page and they will not click on the link at all.

Please vote the feature request:

Thanks for your reply, but I can't accept this as answer.

As you said, guest will ignore the small link on the bottom and can't get captive portal.

The block page is really a bad idea!

By the way, I vote the feature request.

ShunzeLee,

thanks. I already voted the idea. Even for me this behaviour is unacceptable! It was working like a charm on v15 while on v16 they changed the behaviour to something that is not managable!

Maybe the feature to have captive portal for every firewall rule compromised the default behaviour. On v16, is useless if authentication page is not prompted as default page.

I totally agree with you!

Marking the thread as answered will allow other users to find it quickly, because an answer exist: vote the feature request! :-(
