Hello all.
First, i connect to the internet via satellite (vsat) and bandwidth is very costly so i need a way to manage users/speeds/bandwidth.
I currently use a product called RouterOS from Mikrotik and while it does an OK job with its hotspot system it leaves much to be desired.
I am in the process of seeking an alternative to help me with my setup. a basic customer base of users through a Wisp/LAN system.
What routeros has helped me do is use its hotspot system which is really a breeze to setup and use however like i said above the product leaves much to be desired.
What i'd also like is content filtering, QoS management, virus scanning (for http content) and so on.
Currently theres three products i am looking at : Astaro and Securepoint and Clarkconnect .. they all lack the hotspot system although Clarkconnect has a "hotlan" feature which i think is a hotspot like system...
so i figured the next best thing is to setup users with a VPN client system.
So current questions are as follows:
1) i would first need some sort of static portal page so people can see the agreement + download the vpn client.
2) how to setup the VPN system... so if a user connects to the server they cant get any access to the internet ONLY by verifying their identity with the server.
3) However how do i limit users to specific speeds?
So if user A connects via VPN how do i limit him to lets say 64kbps down and 48kbps up?
4) QoS management. a must!
Please advise with this.
