Hi all, I'm posting this for people's interest, in case it is of use to anybody. I have created a set of scripts (called PortalShaper) to do the following: * Act as a captive portal * Manage the users on the captive portal * Traffic shape the internet connection to optimise its speed * Create a "splash page" to display adverts to users * Load-share between multiple connections I won't go into any details in this email, except to say that all the above is achieved with iptables and iproute2 rules, with PHP scripts for the captive portal web pages. It's therefore easily customised, or used as examples. The details of how it works are contained at: http://andybev.com/index.php/PortalShaper Full installation instructions for installing from scratch are contained at: http://andybev.com/index.php/Setting_up_a_captive_portal_from_scratch_using_Debian If you have any comments then please let me know.
