Hello Skunks,

I would like to know if there is a solution out there for billing users in a WiFi / hotspot connection that is not pegged on the duration you stay online but by the packets of data downloaded and uploaded. I am thinking of having a small wireless router at home and charging my neighbors monthly according to the data volume they use. like the way bundles work.

Further, has anyone tried it in this list? Any free ware software you would recommend?

Thanks, Mutuma

yes I have, severally and over an extended period of time. Why you need two network cards, cause pfsense is meant to sit in between your internet connection and your wifi hotspot, its called a captive portal because what happens is, someone connects to your wifi, gets assigned addresses and all and a gateway thats on the other side of pfsense, when flowing through pfsense checks to see if he is authorized, thereafter directing to login page or allowing passage. do some RTFM-ing on their site and youll understand better.
