View Full Version : Port Forwarding defeats Hotspot.

So I spent about 15 minutes of my day today trying to figure out why after I enabled hotspot on one of my AP's there was no login required.

Then I realized that I forwarded all port 80 traffic on this particular unit to the built in squid proxy.

The redirect was like:
forward tcp to re.al.ip.addr 8080 from 192.168.200.0/24 to any 80 out via $net

Once this forward was disabled the hotspot functioned correctly.

I would like to still use my transparent proxy servers and also the hotspot functionality.

Suggestions? I remember when using NoCat a long while back I found someone else doing this and was doing it myself, but I have forgotten how. I could look it up and do it myself, but for obvious reasons I can't :)

This will take some looking into. Thanks for the heads up.

Has this issue been resolved? I'm running V 1.13.1 and am still seeing this.

No. It is a contention for resources. Proxy wants port 80 and Hotspot wants port 80 for login. We have not had time to look at reordering the filter hooks.

We will have a bit more flexibility in the version 2 software.
