Thanks Meyer. While I always want to get my hands dirty, I have not yet written any squid helpers. Point me somewhere for starters. And please note that because the WiFi will be a free service, I do not want to incur more costs on equipment (Mikrotik) unless it is the only alternative. Any specifics off Mikrotik you can recommend? Amos, other users, Is there nothing else I can do with squid to achieve my goal? # Edmonds On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 2:17 PM, babajaga <augustus_meyer@xxxxxxxx> wrote: >>Unless I am getting it wrong ...are you telling me to find (or > propose) a solution to my problem?< > I proposed a possible solution using squid, however, must be implemented > (programmed) by yourself, as not available AFAIK. > >> Must it be external?
