        Can you tell me what other captive portal settings you did like accounting? Option with radcheck does not work for me unless I do sth wrong. I put that in “check item”

          Reauthenticate every minute
          From the cp side

          from radius I had to
          Enable sql noresetcounter

            Also would you mind to tell where I can find in the radius "noresetcounter"?

              So I did all you said except noresetcounter which I am not sure where it is. It does not seem to work.

                Alright try this

                Set Accounting to Stop/Start (FreeRadius)

                Enable Reauthenticate connected users every minute

                in radcheck table

                –---------------------------------------
                john | Simultaneous-use | := | 1

                forget about noresetcounter

                also works for me

                  Hi, thanks for the replies.
                  I will test Start/Stop radius accounting again, but as I said before, this makes users timeout since Last Activity is broken.

                  @jaspras If you say it works for you, the only possibility I can think about is a regression in the update from freeradius2 package to 3.
                  Then my only option seems to be a clean reinstall.

                      Pasting where ?  ;D

                      I strongly advise you to use phpmyadmin.
                      Or you could use the mysql command line to INSERT, the web is filled up with zillion examples how to do that.

                      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                      Edit : and where are the logs ??

                          This is my source : https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b&ei=rCDoWsrZPMamsAGTxL64Bg&q=FreeRadius++Simultaneous-Use&oq=FreeRadius++Simultaneous-Use&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i7i30i19k1l4j0i7i10i30i19k1j0i7i30i19k1j0i19k1l3j0i30i19k1.7776.7776.0.8408.1.1.0.0.0.0.122.122.0j1.1.0….0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.1.120....0.LJD31UiPcwU (sorry, you have to read a little bit, many people are posting about how not to do it …)

                          So, after some reading, you'll discover that you should add at the top of the "users file" this :

                          DEFAULT Simultaneous-Use := 1
                           Fall-Through = Yes
                          

                          This can be done using the FreeRadius package like this (edit the first user !) and then add this : see image.

                          Over there is also explained why and how to use the command separator, the "|".

                          Btw : another solution would be using a sql table, and setting for each user the "Simultaneous-Use := 1" or assign user to a group and make that group using "Simultaneous-Use := 1". This all works.

                              If you edited the first user on the Radius list, you should have this when you inspect the "users" file :
                              see image.

                              I limit users to 2.

                              edit : I also limit every user to 200 Mbytes a day.

                                Yep, it does not work

                                Moreover what I want to accomplish is different limit per user.

                                Also I do have checked "Send RADIUS accounting packets to the primary RADIUS server." and start/stop freeradius

                                      Those are placeholders from when the old forum transitioned to the new one. Images from old posts were lost.

                                        Can you help me with the settings for accounting with MySQL database?
