Hi Jurgen


Thanks for your hint,  but I'm not sure of having understood or explained my 
self well.
I am not having problems on displaying the welcome web page to the clients 
connected to my wifi lan, as I am using the captive portal feature to tell 
clients that they are only allowed to make an vpn to the internet when they 
try to access the internet from their browser. For that goal everything but 
relevant udp/tcp ports are blocked.
Now I have the problem of clients not being able to perform the vpn 
connection, as the captive portal server seems to intercept all traffic. I 
was guessing if i could show the wellcome web page and still allow clients to 
make vpn connections to the internet.
As far as I know, with the 'Allow IP adresses' list all I can do is to disable 
showing the captive portal to selected clients, but I want it to be shown to 
all clients connected, if possible.

Thanks
Carlos
