Example #3 – RADIUS authentication

Authenticating through a RADIUS server is more involved than voucher authentication or authenticating through the user manager, as it requires installing and configuring a RADIUS server, but pfSense has streamlined much of the process, so it isn't as difficult as you might think.

  2. Completing the prerequisites for setting up a captive portal
  3. Configuring the captive portal
