Portal Logout Domain points to router LAN IP

Thursday
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.0

Omada controller hosted outside of location (docker on Hetzner VPS), v. 6.1.0.19. Noticed strange behaviour: if any domain is used as "Portal Logout Domain" in Network Config -> Site Settings, it points to gateway own LAN IP. For example:

the result of ping from LAN host is:

 

PS C:\Users\Administrator> ping ****this_above_domain***

Pinging ***domain*** [10.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Ping statistics for 10.0.0.1:
Packets: Sent = 2, Received = 2, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

 

No matter what domain I use: local, external, existing, non-existing - it always points to router LAN IP.

Any idea what's wrong with this mechanism? IMO it should work a bit different...

  @LolleQ The Portal Logout Domain is intended to provide an easy way for users to log out of the portal. When they enter the specified domain, it should log out their device. You can read the functionality on the FAQ here: How to configure Portal Authentication on Omada Controller (v6.2 and above) | Omada Network Support

 

If you can provide an explanation as to what you are trying to achieve, we can see if it is supported in the controller.

  @NeilR_M, I understand the idea, let's say.
It's guest network for visitors authenticated by vouchers. Not really intrested in log-out process of users, vouchers are valid for 8h and that's more than enough.
What's really, really strange - is that the logout domain (every string in format abc.yy) is intercepted to router's LAN IP as below:

 

PS C:\Users\Administrator> ping log.out

Pinging log.out [10.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Ping statistics for 10.0.0.1:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

 

Is it inteded bahaviour and I miss some idea or is it bug?

And what am I trying to achieve? Woykd be nice to redirect logging-out users to specified, promotional domain, for example. Not really important, but maybe some day a customer want to use such mechanism.

  @LolleQ Yes, it appears to be intended. The purpose of the logout domain is to provide a domain that users can enter to log out, so in order to initiate the logout process, it directs the traffic sent to that domain to the controller to initiate the process. 

 

As for trying to achieve what you're wanting to do, at the moment it doesn't seem like we have the feature implemented, but I encourage you to submit it as a feedback to our Requests and Suggestions module, as highly requested features there are taken under heavy consideration for development.

Understood, but... The controller is hosted on public IP and logout redirects to 10.0.0.1, which is LAN IP of router. No offence, but this seems to be complete nonsense, if intended. The intercept of logout domain (i.e. logout.domain) to portal address would make sense if stated in the voucher ("Wanna log out? Enter hxxp://logout.domain") and not intercepted for normal VLANS, but only for guest network.
