I am looking to try and sell a better way of managing the wi-fi where I live (in a marina) to the marina manager,
Currently he has a standard wi-fi hotspot sat just on the inside of his office wall.
I have been looking at http://www.antamedia.com/hotspot/ however it is prohibitively expensive (an most of the interesting feathers are in the “enterprise” package)
Ideally the software solution would have the following specification
Ability to block everything on this list: https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/
Ability to traffic shape (ie throttle/drop torrents)
Transparent Proxy and Caching port 80.
most of the features from the hotspot software
payment via paypal
I would like to be able to run the membership database off site, so multiple sites can be linked together, allowing for roaming between sites.
Does any one have any thoughts, or ideas relating to this?
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.” — Hermann Goering (Hitler’s Reichsmarschall)

These two are pretty easy with squid and suqidGuard and a simple firewall
rule. Do make sure to publish to proxy address as well though as not
everything plays nice with transparent proxies.
If you needs configs I can come up with something.
I can’t help on the rest though i’m afraid.
Seem to have been replaced with commercial providers such as http://polkaspots.com/ with freemium options.
If you want to roll your own you are going to need the access system, a
central radius server (can be driven by mysql) and some kind of traffic
filtering / management setup.
