Hey guys,<p>I asked this yesterday but didn't get much insight. The documentation and solutions are quite dated for setting up a public WiFi spot with a captive portal. Are there any resources that I am overlooking into how one can build a solution for small business? Setting up the hardware and creating the portal.
Untangle has captive portal functionality;
It's a linux based OS with firewall, vpn, and a bunch of other stuff.
you need hardware with 2 NICs.<p>We run it for a small busniess off of a refurbished desktop and it works fine for roughly 250 connected users at any given time.<p>Here's a link to the home page: <a href="https://www.untangle.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.untangle.com/</a>
And to the captive portal section of the wiki:
