Does FreeRadius allow voucher creation?

Might be a silly question - is voucher creation limited to LocalServer or do we have the option in FreeRadius

Thank you!

Vouchers are login codes that are created in a set. The set defines the duration of the codes it contains.
As soon as a code is sued and validated, it's marked as 'activated' and the counter, defined by the set starts running.
When the time is up, the voucher is marked as used, and can no longer be used.

When you activate vouchers in pfSense, you can see a third line showing up on the captive portal login page, that is the place to enter the voucher code. It is advisable to create your own 'html' login page, so only the voucher code is requested from the portal user.

If you make you html (php) login page, you could omit to show up the password text field, and in the code hard code it to for example "123456".
Just leave the "User name" and rename it "Voucher".

Now you can use FreeRadius, and set up a user :

( the password is also set to 123456 here)

and pick the time setting you want :

As soon as the Voucher code "Voucher-code-secret" is used, the user can spend 30 minutes online before he gets kicked of the portal for this month. (The Forever option gave me errors ...)
You, as the admin, you generate new and cleanup old "voucher" codes for example;ones a month.
