Radius Server
-
Hi,
I wish to set up a stand alone radius in pf of course. I have 3 local server setup in 3 home. I don't know if it's possible since this is just an idea and I need your expertise on this issue.
I was thinking to set-up a radius server, to be set in my home, where I will generate vouchers and allocate it to a would-be local server's users. I am planning to have 3 local server to be set-up in three different location, so that whenever a user despite of location, voucher is authenticated in the radius.
I don't know if this is possible as this is just my imagination.
If it's possible kindly please do lend me a tutorial for it? I have already uploaded a captive portals to the would-be 3 local servers.
Do I need to upload a captive portal to the radius server?
Help I need:
1. How to configure a radius server to authenticate vouchers logged from 3 local servers from 3 different locations?
2. What will be the configuration of the local servers?Any advise and tutorials is highly appreciated.
Nubee!

You need to setup CaptivePortal on pfsense. On CaptivePortal you can enable voucherns and - if I am correct - you can configure another pfsense to sync these couchers to. But I am not really sure if this is working.
Another possibility could be to setup CaptivePortal and freeradius (additional pfsense package) and configure users with username/password. freeradius users can be synced to another freeradius server.
So you could setup 3 pfsense, 3 CaptivePortal and 3 freeradius servers and sync the freeradius servers or just one freeradius server on one location and all 3 CaptivePortals connect to this freeradius server.
Not matter which way you choose you need to connect your pfsense to each other - with VPN for example.
