hello there,
I apologise if this has been asked before, but I couldn’t find the
documentation / answer for what I’m trying to build.
I’m building a hotspot system to be deployed on to buses, with the following
requirements:
* Each bus will be deployed with a 3G capable OpenWRT router.
* The users will be presented with a T&C when connecting to the AP for the
first time. Accepting T&C is sufficient, no other authentication method is
required.
* Bandwidth is restricted per user.
* Maximum lease is 1.5h per session
* MAC address stats for logging of delinquent users. The user could be
temporarily banned.
* Data capping is optional but nice to have.
* Content-Filtering: for pr0n etc.
* Some websites could be accessed without accepting T&C: e.g: regional council
website.
* The router can be remotely managed. I think I will be looking at Ansible for
this purpose.
I imagine the system will consist of:
* CoovaChilli for SSID & DHCP
* OpenDNS to block indecent sites.
* PacketFence hosted externally on VPS
In this scenario, the requests from each router must go through WAN to the
external PacketFence router to be authenticated.
However, as far as I understand the documentation suggests that the PocketFence
server must be hosted in the same LAN with the router, and the requests must be
authenticated first before it could reach the WAN side

Is PacketFence suitable for what I’m trying to build?
If it is not, does anyone have a suggestion of an open-source software solution
that I could use. Please note, using a SAAS like hotspotsystems, cucumber tony
is not feasible.
Kind regards,
Minh
