Frequently Asked Questions
How does Captivo work with pfSense?
In Captivo you design your branded login page, download the HTML template and upload it to pfSense Captive Portal's portal page area. Authentication happens by pointing pfSense to the Captivo RADIUS server. The guest logs in by phone/voucher, gets verified and goes online.
Is my pfSense version compatible?
Captivo uses pfSense's standard Captive Portal and RADIUS features; it's compatible with current pfSense CE and Plus versions. No special package is required.
How long does setup take?
Portal design takes a few minutes; uploading the template and entering RADIUS details on pfSense is quick too. Most setups go live the same day.
