      Hi again…
      Is there any way pfsense (or any package)  can generate rules to block users after a determined bandwidth limit per day?

      Something like: more than 4GB per day => blocked!

      ...next day is a new story, so rules should be vanished every end of period (daily, for instance).

      Does Captive portal have something like this?

          Thanks for the reply,

          @cmb:

          captive portal with RADIUS authentication and accounting can.

          Really? I thought the accounting part of Radius was only for user logon tracking… So will PF send information to Radius accounting server about bandwidth use of each user? I'll read about Radius accounting.
          Have you seen an example of this?

          Unfortunately, Captive portal settings are possible only once.  It is true now you can select several interfaces, but like setting DHCP server for each VLAN (I have 14)... I would like to have Captive portal for most of them, but some with accounting other without, some with some limits, other without... I think that is not possible, right?
