Also called "captive portal". A captive portal forces anyone who
connects to a network for the first time to a specific web page. There
they can find out who is providing this access and typically
acknowledge the rules of access.
All of the captive portal installations I know of (NoCatAuth, m0n0wall,
etc...) require a dedicated computer to run on 24/7 as well as a
computer geek tu install and mantain the animal.
In view of this i decided to developing a new captive portal system
that requires no software of hardware installation (other than the
router and internet connection, obviously).
I am willing to share th sources with anyone interested in the project,
at present in a beta stage. It is based exclusively on the DNS protocol
and all it requires in order to run is a simple configuration of the
router.
If you want to try it you must configure your router as follows:
- enable DHCP
- set DHCP parameter "DNS" to 82.161.30.183
then reset your wifi card, open your favorite browser and try it, login
with password "test" without the quotes.
There's a form for comments on the portal's entry page. Collaborators
are welcome.
