Captive Portal and DataCaps
-
Not sure if this is the place to ask this questions but here goes:
Is it possible to give each user of the captive portal a monthly datacap ie. After using a specified amount of data, the user can no longer use the internet (that is until the monthly renewal date)? I unfortunately live in a country where there are data caps and I need to restrict how much bandwidth each person uses :-(

With radius accounting it should be possible.

Can I install FreeRadius on the pfSense box and if so, is there a howto link for doing so?
-
Ok so I've worked out that I can install the FreeRadius package. I'm just having problems configuring it… when I try to use it with the captive portal, I get "No valid Radius Response received". I can't seem to find a walk through anywhere.
-
One last thought.. do I need to add a rule to firewall to allow the captive portal to access it? If so, which IP is the Radius and captive portal applications seen as running from?

if you install both on the pfSense box should be localhost 127.0.0.1
