Easist would be to use a product called "Mikrotik" you will have that entire
system up & running in 15mins tops.

+ Runs on underspec machines perfectly as it's designed for embedded
systems.
I always found myself using it instead of doing all the work myself because
of time constraints.
It's linux based, but everything is done through a client.

Hello, fellow FreeBSD-ers!
I'd like to a good neighbor and share my DSL line and set up an
unencrypted free wireless access point. I often find myself wanting
more free access points around the city, so I thought I'd stand up
as a good example for others :-)
I want people to know that they can use the network (easy, use ssid
"free internet"), but I want them to know that they should be nice,
and it's meant for casual browsing, and that misuse will cause a ban.
So, what I'd like:
1) Setup a wireless network card in infrastructure mode, I think.
2) Setup a DHCP server and DNS forwarder on this interface
3) Setup routing from one interface to my other network
4) Use a firewall to close down lots of stuff, maybe also limit
bandwith per mac-address, and a way to deny access to certain NICs.
5) Insert a message in all text/html over HTTP, basically saying:
"Hi, guest! Feel free to use our free internet, but be nice!" And a
close-button, which I guess needs to send a POST to a http server as
well, and that I need to record this action in a database, and use
the same database to dynamically insert the message above or not.
This sounds like too much work for a doubtful amount of gain. It is
probably a lot easier to use ipfw or pf+altq to rate limit the bandwidth
"others" can use :)
Hmmm, is there a way to limit bandwidth on incoming connections with pf+altq?
Squid, afaik, can only limit incoming web traffic. My major concern
would be p2p file sharing. How would you limit that?
