    Hi,

    I am planning on using pfSense captive portal with freeradius in my organisation for user authentication. Is it possible to log user-wise browsing history? Incase it is not possible to do it with these tools, are there any other tools you would recommend?

    Thank you

      You should go here.

      These are the ones you need :
      IDS/IPS : as packets need to be inspected to know what a user on a LAN does.
      Cache/Proxy can might also give information.

      Both go way beyond (like a light year) of classic firewall / router management.
      You asked for the full control of whatever traffic flows through pfSense.
      This means you have to know for real what happens, and why.
      When that is the case, these tools will do the dirty work for you.

      A guy from Chine (of course) said ones : "You can only fight the dragon if you know what it looks like".

      Btw : Freeradius can checks used ID, user hardware ID (MAC, IP) and bytes consumed. And clock the connection over time, and grant access basd on what ever criteria you chose.
      Freeradius doesn't know anything about the traffic - or destination, or what it contains.

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