Following is my personnel experience / Guide on Howto configure a mini ISP type Network using following scenario . . . .
.
.
Recently [Year 2010-2011] I was contacted by a friend who was really passionate in starting a mini–ISP type network setup for about 1000 users in the interior area of city. (soon it may expand up to 2000+ users). He asked my help to setup a scratch card base fully automatic system where user purchase scratch card, & using User self care portal web site, user may create his new ID or refresh his previous ID or change the service package according to the card package offers. I had previously setup this kind of scenario in a cable.net environment using Mikrotik built-in radius server called ‘User Manager’, but it have very limited basic features and all it can offer was a pre–paid type option and it doesn’t have many accounting features. So I thought I should give a try to more rich feature radius server and after a lot of googling i decided to go with (FREERADIUS base ) DMASOFTLAB RADIUS MANAGER.
A very famous radius billing linux base server with all the option that a mini-ISP would required at unbelievably low price.
The hardware that I have used for this setup.
*Main Mikrotik = v4.17 x86 / Xeon 3.6Ghz Dual / 2 GB Ram / WD 500 GB Sata Hdd , This MT is serving as a PPPoE Server + NAT + bandwidth shaping. It also redirects HTTP traffic to Proxy server.
* Mikrotik RB750 = Just for HOTSPOT to redirect users to self care portal.
(This can be done on Main MT also, but I prefer it this way)
* Radius Server = DMASoftlab RM v3.9 installed on Fedora v10 / Xeon 3.6Ghz Dual / 4 GB Ram / WD 500 GB x2 Sata Hdd
* SQUID PROXY GW = SQUID v2.7 on UBUNTU Karmic Koala v9.10 / Xeon 3.6Ghz Dual / 8 GB Ram / WD 500 GB x3 SATA HDD (2 HDD reserved for Cache), This server acts as a proxy + Gateway machine for the Mikrotik, It also do URL Filtering blocking ads, it also have ZPH enabled so content available in squid cache should be downloaded at full speed (without package limitation) at user end.
* Linux Transparent BRIDGE firewall + DHCP + DNS + MRTG + WEB Server on FEDORA V10 / Xeon 3.6Ghz Dual / 4 GB Ram / WD 500 GB SATA HDD, This server sits between Mikrotik and Users , filtering unwanted traffic, ports and do some other stuff like lightweight DNSMASQ DNS Server, DHCP server providing ips to users , Web Site with MRTG , Psychostats ranking system for Counter Strike Game, Server Monitoring Scripts and Alerts, PHPBB Forums for Users, and some other cool stuff. DNS+DHCP is hosted on this server to minimize load on main mikrotik machine, alos this machine filters unwanted traffic from passing by to main mikrotik.
In this setup , I have configured HOTSPOT on extra RB750 only to redirect user to my advertisement page, where he is informed that he is not logged in via dialer, either create / refresh his ID from RM User Self Care Portal, or if he already have an id, connect it via dialer. I don’t prefer HotSpot authentication due to various security reasons, mainly due to I had a very bad experience having HOTSPOT hit by ARP-POISONING and many virus flooder that requires default gateway.
When user first login , his PC MAC address is binded with his ID to prevent accessing it from different pcs. Multiple session of same ID is NOT allowed , I provide user with scratch card (with refill code) , which he can use to refill his account according to card amount/package from RM User self care portal. RM demo can be viewed at http://www.dmasoftlab.com/cont/radman
When users with pppoe dialer tries to connect to main Mikrotik, MT verifies its credentials by asking Radius Server for the account validity, if the ID is valid, user connects okay and can use internet , otherwise he gets disconnected. When the User account is expired, he still can login via dialer, but then he is redirect to my local web server page where he is informed that his account is expired and he should visit billing.local page to renew his account using the card.
Please find along with attachment is my Network Diagram (This was initially designed, I made few changes afterward, I removed FTP from MT DMZ to user subnet lan to avoid load on MT , I moved ftp OS from windows to Linux and integrate it with radius authentication using APACHE.
Some other entertainment services that I setup here were:
2 FTP Media Sharing Servers ( 4 TB of data ) based on Linux Apache with radius as back-end authentication
2 Live TV Channel streaming over LAN using VLC Media Player Broadcasting
1 Counter Strike 1.6 Dedicated Server with Psychostats Ranking System and adminmod/amxmod
1 Web Server (Ubunut) hosting site u-dear . com , an entertainment portal and hosting other features. It also features monitoring system with MRTG / SMS Alerts via attached Mobile.
About RM: Radius Manager uses a nice web interface for administering the users and the whole system (traffic accounting, tracking of online users, display statistics, maintenance ,account management etc.) and to add that DMASoftlab customer support guys (specially Mr. Viktor.K) have excellent support and respond instantly even to the dumbest of questions. It is real value for money especially for those who do not have big budgets.
We will distribute this article in following sections.
1) MIKROTIK ROUTEROS CONFIGURATION [x86 v4.17]
2) SQUID SERVER CONFIGURATION [using UBUNTU 9.1]
3) RADIUS MANGER CONFIGURATION [using FEDORA 10] + Adding Service Plans & Generating Refill Cards
4) LINUX TRANSPARENT FIREWALL BRIDGE CONFIGURATION [using FEDORA 10]
5) USER / CLIENT SIDE CONFIGURATION [using WINXP/WIN7]
I will focus only Radius Manager configuration here because it was a little tricky to setup at the first time, Rest of configs like mikrotik , squid and others are well descriebd in my other articles which i have mentioned in this post)
Now we will start from Mikrotik 🙂
1) MIKROTIK ROUTEROS CONFIGURATION [x86 v4.17]
In this scenario , Mikrotik have FOUR interface card. Description is as follows
1) LAN interface = Connected with user switch
2) WAN interface = Connected with ISP WAN
3) DMZ interface = Connected with FTP Server’s Switch or via Crossover cable if there is only single ftp server.
4) Proxy interface = Connected with SQUID PROXY Server via Crossover cable
For various reasons, I am not sharing exact Mikrotik Configuration. Just a basic modified version.

2) SQUID SERVER CONFIGURATION [using UBUNTU 9.1 Karmic Koala]
SQUID Server have two lan cards.
One is connected with ISP WAN
Other is connected directly with Mikrotik with cross over cable.
I used the following script to share the basic internet. just copy all contents in any file , for example /etc/squid/fw.sh
and paste the following content in it.
#!/bin/sh # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # See URL: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-setup-transparent-proxy-squid-howto.html # (c) 2006, nixCraft under GNU/GPL v2.0+ # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # squid server IP SQUID_SERVER="192.168.20.2" # Interface connected to Internet INTERNET="eth1" # Interface connected to LAN LAN_IN="eth0" # Squid port SQUID_PORT="8080" # DO NOT MODIFY BELOW # Clean old firewall iptables -F iptables -X iptables -t nat -F iptables -t nat -X iptables -t mangle -F iptables -t mangle -X # Load IPTABLES modules for NAT and IP conntrack support modprobe ip_conntrack modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp # For win xp ftp client modprobe ip_nat_ftp echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # Setting default filter policy #iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT # Unlimited access to loop back iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT # Allow UDP, DNS and Passive FTP iptables -A INPUT -i $INTERNET -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT # set this system as a router for Rest of LAN iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface $INTERNET -j MASQUERADE iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface $LAN_IN -j ACCEPT # unlimited access to LAN iptables -A INPUT -i $LAN_IN -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $LAN_IN -j ACCEPT # DNAT port 80 request comming from LAN systems to squid 8080 ($SQUID_PORT) aka transparent proxy iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $LAN_IN -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to $SQUID_SERVER:$SQUID_PORT # if it is same system iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $INTERNET -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port $SQUID_PORT # DROP everything and Log it iptables -A INPUT -j LOG #iptables -A INPUT -j DROP route add -net 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 192.168.20.1 dev eth0 route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 192.168.20.1 dev eth0
The above script will share internet connection on this BOX. add it in /etc/rc.local so it may run every time system restarts.
For fine tunned squid.conf , I used the following modified version.
/etc/squid/squid.conf withe the following data.

3) RADIUS MANGER CONFIGURATION [using FEDORA 10] The Real Giant :p
MANAGER Version 3.9
INSTALLATION MANUAL © DMA Softlab LLC
This RM installation guide is a shorter version, copied from DMASOFTLAB RM original manual. I edited it and cut off all un-necessary paragraphs which are not required for basic installation and added some info of my personnel experience.
For RM Screenshot gallery, please visit following link.
http://www.dmasoftlab.com/cont/screenshots
This document describes the installation procedure of Radius Manager billing system on a Linux host using FEDORA 10. For beginners I recommend the usage of Fedora Core 10. Fedora Core is the easiest and the most comfortable Linux system for RM isntallation (Although I have tested in Ubuntu also, but still FED wins in few aspects) It comes with all required packages to install and run Radius Manager. The packages are available on the installation media and they are also down-loadable from the official online repositories using the Yum tool.
In this document You will also find guidelines on how to set up your NAS (mikrotik) to integrate with Radius Manager system.
To successfully install Radius Manager on your host, You have to complete the following steps:
1. Install ionCube runtime libraries
2. Build and configure FreeRadius server
3. Configure MySQL database and credentials
4. Install Radius Manager WEB components
5. Install Radius Manager binaries
6. Complete the post installation steps and fine tuning
INSTALLATION Prerequisites:
To successfully install and run Radius Manager, You need the following components installed on the Linux host, If they are not isntalled already, dont worrry 😉 we will install them in next step 😀
Software Requirements:
• FreeRadius 2.1.8 DMA mod 2 (downloadable from http://www.dmasoftlab.com)
• PHP 5 or better
• MySQL 5 or better
• MySQL development libraries
• php-mysql
• php-mcrypt
• curl, php-curl
• glibc 2.4 or better
• GNU C/C++ compiler
• IonCube runtime libraries. They are downloadable freely from http://www.ioncube.com and http://www.dmasoftlab.com
• Javascript enabled browser on running on client machines
Preparing the Linux system Fedora 10
Install the necessary components on your Linux host before You begin the installation of Radius Manager.
1. Disable SeLinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux and reboot your host:
SELINUX=disabled
2. On Fedora Core 10 install the required packages in one step:
yum install make php php-mysql php-mcrypt mysql-devel mysql-server gcc libtool-ltdl
[ Note: This will download and install about 60-70 mb of packages depends on you FED installation. Be patience if you have slow internet connection ]
Installation procedure of ionCube runtime system
Radius Manager requires ionCube runtime libraries. You can download them from: http://www.dmasoftlab.com/downloads
Before installing ionCube, You have to know the following:
1. The architecture of your Linux system (32 or 64 bit) (usually 32bit pc is used in most cases, I will use 32bit only as example)
2. Which PHP version are You using (use php -v to view version info, hopefully you will get v5.2.9)
3. Where is your php.ini file located (On fedora its usually /etc/php.ini)
Example ionCube installation
1. First create a temp folder in root
mkdir /temp cd /temp
Now download ionCube by issuing following command
wget http://www.dmasoftlab.com/cont/download/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz
UNTAR the ionCube runtime libraries to /usr/ local/ioncube by using following command
tar zxvf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz
Now copy the ioncube foler to to /usr/ local/ioncube by using following command
cp /temp/ioncube/* /usr/local/ioncube/
2. Add the appropriate ionCube loader to your php.ini. You have to add the following line in /etc/php.ini
zend_extension=/usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
3. Test the ionCube loader from shell:
[root@localhost]# php -v You have to see the ionCube PHP Loader version displayed correctly. PHP 5.2.9 (cli) (built: Apr 17 2009 03:29:12) Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies with the ionCube PHP Loader v3.3.14, Copyright (c) 2002-2010, by ionCube Ltd.
4. Restart the web server by following command:
sevice httpd restart
5. Run ifconfig command from shell to determine the MAC address of the network interface card (NIC):
[root@localhost]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:E8:EC:8A:E8
6. Now it’s time to request a license for your server. If this is first time, Ask support@dmasoftlab.com to grant you id passwrod for customer portal. after getting Id, Log on to DMA Softlab customer’s portal (https://customers.dmasoftlab.com) and request a trial license for the hardware address (MAC address) of your network interface card.
Radius Manager will run only on the specified host and the license is binding to the MAC address of the network interface card. You can migrate Radius Manager to another host if You also move the same network interface card with it.
It is strongly recommended to request a license for a removable networking interface to allow migration to new host without loosing the license.
7. When a license file is issued (You will get a notification about it in email), download and copy the lic.txt and mod.txt to radiusmanager web directory (read the “Installation procedure of Radius Manager” chapter of this manual) to enable licensing of your Radius Manager installation.
Troubleshooting the ionCube loader system
If encoded files fail to run, you can test ionCube runtime by using the helper PHP script ioncubeloader-helper.php, which is included in the loader download archive.
1. Copy the ioncube-encoded-file.php PHP script to your http root (on Redhat-based system it is /var/www/html).
2. Try to access the ioncube-encoded-file.php script using your favorite web browser:
http://yourhost/ioncube-encoded-file.php
3. If You can see the message “This file has been successfully decoded. ionCube Loaders are correctly installed”, it means You have successfully installed ionCube runtime on your host and it is ready to use. If You can’t decode the file via a HTTP call, check the php.ini and be sure SeLinux is disabled.
Installation procedure of FreeRadius
Follow the installation steps to successfully build, install and configure FreeRadius RADIUS server on your host. Use only FreeRadius 2.1.8 DMA mod 2 source archive (downloadable from our site). It is prepared and tested by our team and it is 100% compatible with Radius Manager.
Other versions and builds will not function properly with Radius Manager. If your host already has a different FreeRadius version installed, remove it completely including it’s configuration files (/etc/raddb or /usr/local/etc/raddb).
Execute the following actions as super user (root user):
1. Download FreeRadius archive in /temp folder from the following URL: http://www.dmasoftlab.com/downloads by issuing following command
cd /temp wget http://www.dmasoftlab.com/cont/download/freeradius-server-2.1.8-dmamod-2.tar.gz
2. Build FreeRadius server from sources. Do it in the following way. Ungzip and untar the FreeRadius archive:
gzip -d freeradius-server-2.1.8-dmamod-2.tar.gz tar xvf freeradius-server-2.1.8-dmamod-2.tar
Create the makefile:
cd freeradius-server-2.1.8 ./configure make make install
By default, FreeRadius will be installed in /usr/local directory.
3. Now You can test FreeRadius in debug mode. Start it with parameter -X
radiusd -X Listening on authentication address * port 1812 Listening on accounting address * port 1813 Listening on command file /usr/local/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.sock Listening on proxy address * port 1814 Ready to process requests.
It must answer with “Ready to process requests”.
If radiusd cannot find the required libraries, issue ldconfig from shell to refresh the ld linker’s cache.
ldconfig
4. Set the correct permissions on FreeRadius configuration files (Fedora):
chown apache /usr/local/etc/raddb chown apache /usr/local/etc/raddb/clients.conf
Radius Manager updates the clients.conf automatically, so it is necessary to set the correct permission on it. Do not modify the clients.conf by hand. Don’t forget to define all NASes in ACP with the correct secret and restart FreeRadius (from ACP or from shell) after modifying the NASes in the system.
5. Review and modify (if needed) the MySQL credentials in /usr/local/etc/raddb/sql.conf: by issuing following command
nano /usr/local/etc/raddb/sql.conf # Connection info: server = “localhost” #port = 3306 login = “radius” password = “radius123”
Creating MySQL databases with MySQL command line tool
If You are familiar with MySQL command line tool, You can create databases, users and permissions with it easily and much faster. First start MYSQL daemon via
service mysqld start
Now, Log on to MySQL server as root:
mysql -u root -ppassword
where password is the MySql root password. If there is no password for root, simply change it via
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
or if you want to change old password, issue this command
mysqladmin -u root -p’oldpassword’ password newpass
Execute the following statement from the MySQL command shell:
CREATE DATABASE radius; CREATE DATABASE conntrack; CREATE USER 'radius'@'localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY 'radius123'; CREATE USER 'conntrack'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'conn123'; GRANT ALL ON radius.* TO radius@localhost; GRANT ALL ON conntrack.* TO conntrack@localhost; exit
Completing this step the databases are ready to use.
Installation procedure of Radius Manager
There are two methods of installation available:
1. Interactive, using the included installer script. (We will focus on this as its easier for newbie)
2. Manual installation, using Unix commands. (We will not discuss it as its already briefly described in RM Manual)
Interactive installation
The easiest way to install Radius Manager is to use the included install.sh script. It is located in Radius Manager tar archive and can be used on Redhat, Debian and (with slight modification of the environment) on other systems. Before You begin, be sure You have prepared the MySQL database tables and credentials. Radius Manager requires two databases:
1. RADIUS – for storing all system data, including users and accounting information.
2. CONNTRACK – for storing connection tracking system (CTS) data.
Create both databases even on a non-CTS enabled system.
Now download RM (radiusmanager-3.9.0.tgz) from dma customer portal in /temp folder. Now decompress the Radius Manager tarball using following command.
tar xf radiusmanager-3.9.0.tgz cd radiusmanager-3.9.0-rel-allpatches-1-5/
Now invoke the installer script, but first change its permission to 755. In the examples below we will use the installer script on Redhat / Fedora system.
chmod 755 install.sh ./install.sh Radius Manager installer Copyright 2004-2011, DMA Softlab LLC All right reserved. (Use CTRL+C to abort any time) Select the type of your operating system: 1. Redhat (Fedora, CentOS etc.) 2. Debian (Ubuntu etc.) Choose an option: [1]
Select the operating system You have. For Redhat, RHEL, CentOS, Fedora select option 1.
Now select the installation method:
Select installation type: 1. New installation 2. Upgrade old system Choose an option: [1]
For new installation, use option 1. You can see the default options after every question, so You can just press enter in most cases.
Choose an option: [1] Selected installation method: NEW INSTALLATION WWW root path: [/var/www/html]
Now define the HTTP root folder. The installer will create radiusmanager subfolder in it automatically. On Redhat You can simply press enter.
Now define the MySQL database credentials:
RADIUS database host: [localhost] RADIUS database username: [radius] RADIUS database password: [radius123] CTS database host: [localhost] CTS database username: [conntrack] CTS database password: [conn123]
For the default setup simply press enter and use MySQL user “radius” with password “radius123” for RADIUS database, and conntrack / conn123 for CONNTRACK database.
The host is “localhost” by default. If You have different setup, specify proper values. If You are planning to use the system with hundreds of online users, it is recommended to use separate database host for CONNTRACK database.
In the next step You have to define the FreeRadius user. It must be the correct user to set the permission properly on /etc/radiusmanager.cfg. If there are permission problems on /etc/radiusmanager.cfg, Radius Manager binaries will not function at all.
Freeradius UNIX user: [root]
On Fedora it is root, so simply press enter.
Now define the HTTP user (the user name under Apache is running). It is required to set the permission on files in radiusmanager/config directory. On Fedora it is the apache user.
Httpd UNIX user: [apache]
You can now decide to create rmpoller service or not? It is a standard Fedora / Debian compatible service script which invokes rmpoller helper. You can also start rmpoller using alternative ways.
Create rmpoller service: [y]
In most cases simply press enter. When a service has been created, You can use the command (on Fedora)
service rmpoller [start | stop]
to control rmpoller service activity. Also make this service auto starting at boot time together with FreeRadius. Use command chkconfig -add rmpoller on or use Webmin to activate the service at boot time.
In the next step select yes if You want to create the rmconntrack service. It is a standard Linux service, like rmpoller. It is required for Radius Manager CTS only.
Create rmconntrack service: [y]
When a service has been created, You can use the command
service rmconntrack [start | stop]
to control rmconntrack service activity. Also make this service auto starting at boot time.
It is strongly recommended to create a full database backup before You continue. Answer ‘yes’ to the following question:
Back up RADIUS database: [y]
Now the system warns You it will overwrite the existing databases if You continue. Press ‘y’ to continue or ‘n’ to abort the installation process.
WARNING! If You continue You will overwrite the existing RADIUS database! Are You sure to start the installation? [n] You can press Ctrl+C any time to abort the installation process. Starting installation process... Backing up radiusmanager.cfg Backing up system_cfg.php Backing up netcash_cfg.php Backing up paypal_cfg.php Backing up authorizenet_cfg.php Backing up dps_cfg.php Backing up 2co_cfg.php Copying web content to /var/www/html/radiusmanager Copying binaries to /usr/local/bin Copying rootexec to /usr/local/sbin Copying radiusmanager.cfg to /etc Backing up RADIUS database... Creating mysql tables Creating rmpoller service Creating rmconntrack service Copying logrotate script Setting permission on raddb files Copying radiusd init script to /etc/init.d Installation finished!
the installation process is finished, You can begin configuring the system with /etc/radiusmanager.cfg and radiusmanager/config files.
Add the following line to /etc/crontab to execute rmscheduler.php every day after midnight by issuing following command:
crontab -e
Now press i and add the the following entry.
02 0 * * * root /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/radiusmanager/rmscheduler.php 12345
Now press ESC button, now press SHIFT+: , now press wq
it will save the crontab and exit.
12345 is the default password, as it is defined in system_cfg.php. Always specify the full path of the PHP interpreter. If You are not sure, check it’s location before You add the crontab record. The password has to match the predefined one in system_cfg.php.
Now download the the license files (lic.txt and mod.txt) and copy them in in radiusmanager web folder
cp lic.txt /var/www/html/radiusmanager cp mod.txt /var/www/html/radiusmanager
Now Try to access the ACP (Administration Control Panel) by pointing your browser to http://localhost/radiusmanager/admin.php.
Reboot your system to check if helper services are starting properly (radiusd, rmpoller and optionally rmconntrack). By default few services donot run at Fed startup, See the last paragraph of this guide on Starting daemons at boot time so that required services automatically starts at boot. You can use the following commands to make sure the services starts at boot time.
chkconfig --add radiusd chkconfig --add rmpoller chkconfig --add rmconntrack chkconfig --add mysqld chkconfig --add httpd chkconfig --add dnsmasq
To test RADIUS communication, be sure MySQL server is running. Start FreeRadius in debug mode:
radiusd -X Listening on authentication address * port 1812 Listening on accounting address * port 1813 Listening on command file /usr/local/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.sock Listening on proxy address * port 1814 Ready to process requests.
On the second terminal issue the radtest command:
radtest user 1111 localhost 1812 testing123 Sending Access-Request of id 57 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812 User-Name = “user” User-Password = “1111” NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1 NAS-Port = 1812 rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1812, id=57, length=50 WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Up = 262144 WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Down = 262144 Acct-Interim-Interval = 60
You have to see Access-Accept answer. If You see an error message, check the following:
• Is MySQL server running?
• Are MySQL credentials correct? • Are MySQL table permissions correct? • Can FreeRadius connect to MySQL database?
• Have You created the RADIUS and CONNTRACK databases and tables?
• Is the NAS defined in ACP? In this case it is 127.0.0.1 ?( NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1).
• If the hostname is different than localhost, You have to substitute the localhost with the IP address of the Linux server. You have to update the NAS list in RM ACP in this case.
Now access the ACP (Administration Control Panel) by pointing your browser to http://localhost/radiusmanager/admin.php and First add Mikrotik NAS device in ACP.
Enter the ip address of Mikrotik. In Secret , type the secret that you will set in Mikrotik RADIUS (See below section / screenshot)
Also test the functionality of the User Control Panel (UCP):
http://yourhost/radiusmanager/user.php
The initial username and password are:
Username: user Password: 1111
To be able to log on to UCP as another user, create the user in ACP first.
System optimization Tips
The performance of the entire Radius Manager system mainly depends on the speed of the hard disks and the MySQL subsystem. If You encounter performance problems, check the following:
1. Check radacct table size. If it is large (> 300-500 MB), delete the old years from it using the deloldyears.sql script (included in the RM tar archive in doc directory).
2. Add more RAM to the system. Adding 2-4 GB of RAM doesn’t mean any problem nowadays.
3. Use RAID 0 or RAID 5 array MySQL db storage devices.
4. Optimize the MySQL server via my.cnf file.
key_buffer=1024M
myisam_sort_buffer_size=512M sort_buffer_size=32M
Set key_buffer = RAM size / 2, myisam_sort_buffer_size = RAM size / 4, sort_buffer_size = RAM size / 64.
Adding more RAM will drastically speed up the MySQL system. Indexes must be fit in the RAM for optimal performance.
Notes
By default, many web servers can list the contents of the directory where Radius Manager files are stored. To prevent this there are several methods available:
1. Use .htaccess file. Enable the Options -Indexes directive In .htaccess file (example file is included in radiusmanager directory in the installation archive). Be sure to enable the htaccess support in order to use this feature (set AllowOverride All directive in httpd.conf).
2. Disable the directory listing in httpd configuration files.
HOWTO REPLACE/MODIFY DMASOFTLAB RM LOGO and TEXT !!!
You can Replace/Edit the default DMASOFTLAB logo files. by default, Images are available where you have installed the radiusmanager. Look into the images folder of radiusmanager.
For example I installed RM in /var/www/html/radiusmanager. There will be a folder name ‘images’ Look for these files.
dmalogo_small.gif
radmanlogo_small.gif
main1_01.gif
main1_02.gif
main1_03.gif
emailheader.gif
Edit Various Text/headings show at UCP/ACP
You can also edit the texts/descriptions in language description files in radiusmanager/lang/english folder.
look for texts.txt and strings.txt
To add logo in prepaid cards
You can modify its base image at radiusmanager/lang/english/card folder.
look for classic_bg.png and refill_bg.png
Some Example:
MIKROTIK NAS CONFIGURATION
Setting up RADIUS authentication and accounting
To send authentication and accounting requests to Radius server, You have to configure your Mikrotik NAS. Use Winbox to view and edit the configuration. Follow these steps:
1. Connect to your Mikrotik router using Winbox.
2. Select Radius from the main menu.
3. Click on the + to create a new RADIUS server description:
(see the attached screenshot)
Description of fields:
• Service:
• PPP: for PPP RADIUS authentication
• Address is your RADIUS server host. eg 192.168.2.1
• Secret is the NAS secret from /usr/local/etc/raddb/clients.conf e.g 12345
• Authentication and Accounting ports are the standard RADIUS ports.
• Timeout defines how much milliseconds can elapse while the answer arrives from the RADIUS server. If You are using slower connection to RADIUS server or the accounting tables are large, set this timeout higher (3000-5000 ms).
Now Set the AAA options of PPP service (PPPoE): Goto PPP / Secrets / click on PPP Authentication & Accounting Button, and see the following.
Turn on RADIUS authentication (Use Radius) and RADIUS accounting (Accounting). Interim update is the time interval when RADIUS client (Mikrotik NAS) sends the accounting information to the RADIUS server. If You have more than 200 online users, use higher values (5-8 minutes) to avoid MySQL overload.
Now Enable incoming RADIUS requests (POD packets). It is required to use the REMOTE disconnection method in Radius Manager: Don’t forget to open the UDP port 1700 in firewall on Mikrotik and Linux server.
To Test the database connectivity: use the following command from RADIUS CLI.
rmauth 192.168.2.9 user 1 Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit=1028,Mikrotik-Rate-Limit=”262144/262144”
(Where 192.168.2.1 is the MT IP) You have to see similar output to this. If there is a MySQL socket error, define the correct socket location in /etc/radiusmanager.cfg. The default socket file on Redhat is /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. On Debian systems the proper socket path is /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock.
To successfully test rmauth, You have to create NAS entries in ACP. In this example, the NAS IP
You have to restart FreeRadius every time when You modify the NAS devices. Unfortunately FreeRadius doesn’t read the configuration files dynamically.
ADDITIONAL SETUP
Starting daemons at boot time
Radius Manager system supports automatic startup of daemons: radiusd, rmpoller and rmconntrack. The automatic installer copies all the required scripts to /etc/init.d directory and sets the required permissions on them.
The following methods are available to set up automatic service startup:
• Use Webmin to start services at boot time or
• Use command chkconfig –add [service_name] (Fedora only)
A chkconfig example follows:
chkconfig --add radiusd chkconfig --add rmpoller chkconfig --add rmconntrack chkconfig --add mysqld chkconfig --add httpd chkconfig --add dnsmasq
ADDED SECURITY: (My Suggestion, zaib)
I placed this RADIUS Server on user subnet, which is not suitable, palce it on behind Mikrotik DMZ,
then create a user in Mikrotik For example ‘user’ with restricted ip pool, and using FIREWALL rules,
Restrict this id/ip to access only RADIUS Server , block all other access for this id / pass.
This way user have to first dialin to open RM User Self Care Portal.
HOWTO ADD Service Plans in RM ACP & Generate Prepaid/Refill Cards:
256Kbps Monthly Service Plan
Following is an example on howto add New Service and assosicate it with new user.
Package = 256Kb
Expiry = 30 Days
Login to RM ACP , Goto Services and click on New Service.
In Service Name* tpye ‘256Kbps Monthly’
Click on ‘Available in UCP‘
Click on ‘Limit Expiration’
on ‘Set data rates’ (DL/UL) type 256 / 256
Now goto Bottom and in ‘Expiration Date Unit’ Select 1 , Initial 0, and
Finally, Click on Store Service Bottom in the End.
Done Your new service is created with 256Kbps Speed Limitation with 1 Month Up-Time Limitaion.
Following are screenshot for the above created Service.
- Add Service – Image 2 aacable@hotmail.com
Now we have created the new service , its time to create new user or generate pre-paid cards and assosciate them with this new service plan.
rm-add-pre-paid-cards / aacable@hotmail.com
Service is ready to be used. 🙂
HOWTO ADD QUOTA BASE SERVICE IN RM:
Now we will Add Quota Base Service Plan. For example User is allowed to use 1GB @ 1mbps per Day, After using his 1 GB Quota, his service plan should auto switch to 256Kbps speed plan for the rest of teh day. . . We have to use DAILY SERVICE option in RM for this purpose. First create Daily service with 256Kbps limitation, and then create the 1Mbps / 1Gb Daily Quota limit service and use the next dail service option in 1mb service plan to point it to 256k.
First we will create 256Kbps service plan. This will be very simple basic plan.
Open RM ACP, Goto Services, and create new service, and name it
256Mbps – Daily Service , rest of options can be set by seeing the image below.
256k-daily-image-1
- 256k-daily-image-2
Click on Store Service. Now 256Kbps daily service is ready, its time to create your regular 1Mbps / 1GB daily Quota Service Plan.
Open RM ACP, Goto Services, and create new service, and name it
256Mbps – Monthly, rest of options can be set by seeing the image below.
1mb-1gb-quota-image-1
1mb-1gb-quota-image-2
1mb-1gb-quota-image-3
All Done. Now Simply generate cards or user ids and associate it with the 1mbps service.
HOWTO SEND EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS / WARNING TO USERS BEFORE THERE ACCOUNT EXPIRE
Goto Home / system settings , here you can set it.
4) LINUX TRANSPARENT FIREWALL BRIDGE CONFIGURATION [using FEDORA 10]
Following is a comprehensive guide on how you can setup Linux base Transparent bridge with advance firewall capabilities like DHCP Server MACto IP binding restriction, Easily add remove clients via single file using text editor or WEBMIN, Also you can Port Filtering to block unwanted traffic from passing through.
A bridge is a way to connect two Ethernet segments together in a protocol independent way. Packets are forwarded based on Ethernet address, rather than IP address (like a router). Since forwarding is done at Layer 2, all protocols can go transparently through a bridge.You can think of a bridge like a advance manageable network switch/firewall/router. We will be using this Linux Transparent bridge according to the network diagram shown at the start of this article.
The job of the bridge is to examine the destination of the data packets one at a time and decide
whether or not to pass the packets to the other side of the Ethernet segment. The result is a faster, quieter
network with less collisions.
You don’t need to change your existing network layout. You just plug in the bridge and you start working. If for some reasons, your Linux bridge box should go down, reconnect the cables from your bridge to your switch, and nobody will even notice that something was not working!
The placement of the bridge would be something like.
Sserver’s >> switch >>eth0>> LINUX BRIDGE with 2 interfaces >>eth1>> User Switch >>User
Pc’s
Now there are few scripts involved in engaging the bridge, If any one requires them, email me and I will send him my script copies, File Name: firewall.rar
SIMPLE STEP BY STEP instructions on howto copy and execute the scripts:
HAWRDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
Any adequate P4 / Xeon Dual Core with at least 1 GB RAM , 2 Lan Cards (preferably Gigabit)
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
Any Linux flavor, preferably FEDORA CORE 10 or likewise (Full installation with all packages selected at them time of installation, specially bridge utilities)
After successfull installation of FEDORA, copy firewall.rar , unrar them, and copy all scripts in a folder
/firewall/aacable
Now goto /firewall/aacable folder, make all scripts executable by issuing command chmod +x *.*
If required, convert them using dos2unix command, as sometimes copying it from windows generates some problems.
Now copy rc.local to /etc/ (overwrite older one) & restart the system.
Now after booting , rc.local will excute following files . . .
1)
/firewall/aacable/bridge.sh
(It will remove ip address from eth0 n eth1 and create bridge interface br0 with following ip: 10.0.8.1 for remote access and management of local bridge system, also dhcpd will be bind to this interface)
2)
/firewall/aacable/conf
(This is some custom configuration to prevent timeouts / delays, Latency and some other stuff)
3)
/firewall/aacable/start
(This is the main firewall script , It will execute All DHCP n Firewall related Scripts one by one. It will add all mac/ ip foundin macip.allowed file in dhcp configuration file and then bind them using iptables so that user mac ip must be matched with the file accordingly otherwise user access will not be granted. Any user whose entry will not be found in macip.allowed file, will get off subnet ip like 192.168.100.x
You can view the ‘start‘ file and see the related actions defined in there.
Your BRIDGE is ready & Following restrictions will be in place.
1)
If a user MAC n IP is found in /firewall/aacable/macip.allowed file, User will be granted valid ip as you entered in the macip.allowed file, for example
00:19:d1:fd:83:b1 10.10.2.13 # ZAIB-PC
The user with above mac address will always get the 10.10.2.13 ip, if he manually tries to change the ip or mac, he will not be able to pass the bridge. MAC n IP combination matching is required in order to pass the bridge.
If a user MAC n IP is not found in /firewall/aacable/macip.allowed file, User will be granted INVALID ip series from following off subnet 192.168.100.10-192.168.100.200 and thus will be completely isolated from the local valid network.
You can change all ip series in DHCP related files.
To add user , you can manually edit /firewall/aacable/macip.allowed file and add entry in following format
00:16:76:7E:05:7B 10.0.0.1 # SERVER1-ISA
00:06:5b:62:71:0a 10.10.2.12 # JOHN-LAPTOP
and the run start file which will add entry in macip.allowed file and add dhcp entry and run the security script.
OR the easiest way is to setup WEBMIN and link the file with webmin, so you can add/remove files easily via webmin GUI.I have done some advance customization of webmin, I added support user in webmin for support personnel , and grant him only right of editing this file, after the support personnel edit this file and click on save, it automatically execute the start script which add / remove all entries again in firewall. See the below images for example.
This firewall script also blocks few ports which are commonly used in virus flooding. thus saving junk traffic from passing by from one end to other end.
You can do many interesting things using this bridge :~)
BRIDGE SETUP DONE.
x=x=x=x=x=xx=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x
Note: Later on, I moved FTP servers from Mikrotik DMZ to User Subnet, I also changed FTP operating system from Microsoft Windows 2003 R2 Server to Ubuntu Linux and set all sharing via Apache and linked apache authentication with Radius Manager , This step was done because there was unnecessary junk load of FTP data going through Mikrotik router , so I placed them on user subnet and put radius authenticaiton on it, so only valid account holder can access it. I have also posted an article on my blog website on how I achieved it.
So guys, this is a very shorten version of how I completed this project. It was a very good project for me. I learned many new techniques on howto handle various issues. It took me many days n nights in googling, and I must say GOOGLE was my best friend and I consider google my teacher 🙂

Hi, very interesting guide, I am using RM since ver 3.0, manual of install is clear but reading your guide it seems to be very easy.
The only things that are not well discussed are conntrack on remote host, how to set up the firewall (what use, selinux or others ?) how syncronize another radius server for backup in case of fault by main radius server.
My network don’t use centralized PPPoE server, I had a mikrotik “router configured” with 4 lan (1 wan, 1 lan, 1 log, 1 web), radius manager as centralized auth system on another server, for now a log server using syslog. I had CTS but I never configure it, it will be interesting have some explanation about it ;-), PPPoE is made by mikrotik RB433AH that work also for distribution, every bts make his PPPoE with his pool of address.
Reading about squid server I am thinking to insert it on my network but you belive it will be helpful like proxy server for increase some activity like youtube. You think that it will help?
Thak you

Comment by Ivan — August 20, 2011 @ 3:20 AM
Setting CTS is not a big deal. Just install another box with Fedora, install Mysql, and create DB over there. Although I personally never tested it as separating DB is not required for under few thousands of users , or if you have modern n fast hardware.
SQUID can really help you in reducing load from your main internet feed. the sample squid.conf I posted at my blogs, gave me very good HIT RATIO, I have also ZPH, which is useful to deliver cache content at full LAN speed to users , it increases users browsing speed to satisfactory level, even for low bandwidth package users.
As far as Youtube is concerned , its not cached by default, although there are few articles on internet available on howto cache YT, but believe me, usually they dont work or stop workign after few time, What I ahve tested is a Addon for SQUID name ‘VIDEOCACHE’ which cache all videos of YT and other internet video sites, its really usefull if your users frequently visit YT alot. for example, on my network, YT access ratio is almost 50% of all the traffic.

Hello, greetings from Puerto Rico;
I would like if possible to make an inquiry.
Currently I have a network that has a mikrotik server (pppoe server) connected to wireless clients connecting with Ubiquiti antennas which authenticate PPPoE.
I am following the diagram [https://aacable.wordpress.com/2011/07/19/mikrotik-dmasoftlab-rm-squid-zph-linux-bridgecomplete-guide/]
I have on my network as follows:
1 – Cisco 870 Router
1 – Mikrotik PPPoE Server x86
3 – Remote Sites w / Mikrotik RB750 w / OSPF & EoIP
1 – Proxy Server w / pfSense + Squid
1 – Firewall Server
1 – Radius Server
2 – Switch
In one of the LAN Switch I have connected my Mikrotik PPPoE Server with the Firewall and Radius Server.
At the other switch I have the Firewall Server, the Radius Server and point to point of the 3 remote sites with 9 Sectors 2.4Ghz, 3 on each site in which PPPoE clients connect with their antennas.
I want to:
1 – Setting up a second serve that would be the HotSpot. For customers that are not configured with their antennas authenticating PPPoE.
2 – if it may have to change my network to authenticate hotspot customers and clients authenticating pppoe equally through the radius and the firewall ..
Thank you for the help they can give me, I have yet to clear the diagram that shows the connection firewall and radius server, not if I’m doing well.

You haven’t described what ‘firewall’ server is doing ? whats its role ? is it linux base transparent bridge ? It would be much better if you draw an detailed network diagram to describe your network. I use EDRAW for network diagrams 🙂
HOTPOST & PPPoE server can work together on single server. You don’t need to separate them. User can select any options which suites them either to connect via dialer or just use the hotspot browser base Login method which is convenient for most of the users. Just configure them like you do normally, Both services can use same Radius server for authentication. For example if you have external radius like freeradius.
No special rules are required. BUT use separate Interface card for hotpost and pppoe. for example . . .
ether1 > WAN
ether2 > PPPoE
ether3 > HOTSPOT
However If you want to configure separate server, its not a problem. Configure hotspot on another server.
Set Users DEFAULT GATEWAYand DNS pointing to HOTSPOT via DHCP server.
PPPoE clients will work regardless of gateway n dsn as pppoe works on Layer2 Broadcast, not by ip.
I recommend you to use IPLESS scenario for pppoe server.
There are so many things you can do in your network to secure / improve it. Just dig in there :>)

You don’t have to break anything to setup Hotspot along with PPPoE.
If you have extra RB750, then you can setup HOTSPOT separately.

Yes rb750 was acting as a hotspot gateway just to redirct un authenticated users to my billing portal. this was initially designed, later on I made some changes to the network, I moved FTP from MT DMZ to User subnet and change ftp OS from Windows to Linux, and setup apache sharing server with freeradius authentication. I also moved dhcp + DNS from RB750 to Linux. some other minor improvements too.

You can Replace/Edit the default DMASOFTLAB logo files. by default, Images are available where you have installed the radiusmanager. Look into the images folder of radiusmanager.
For example I installed RM in /var/www/html/radiusmanager. There will be a folder name ‘images’ Look for these files.

I am not aware of any SMS script. A such feature will be available in the upcoming releases of the RM system. I guess ver 3.10 will be equipped with it, also “Forgotten password” feature will be added in the newer version too.
But you can create your own script that can fetch expiry date for each account , then compare with today’s date and by some calculating method it can then create list of users , then send sms to them, but it will be very complicated work to create such script. But I am Sure it will work
However email notifications/warning is possible by going to Home > settings > Email Notifications.

80.80.xxx.29 – squid server ( i want to add it here connected to switch with just 1 ether card)

Well there are many many ways you achieve your goal.
Well IMO, the best way is to connect your squid server with mikrotik interface.
then at your core mikrotik server, mark all packets for http port 80, and in route , route all marked http packets to squid server, and at squid server , create a route for your user’s subnet so squid will directly see the users, and there ips will be saved in logs for every individual users.
For more info, please read this article carefuly,
OR
you can also use dst-nat, but using this scenario, you wont be able to log users ips in squid logs.

1. i need to install dnsmasq with yum install dnsmasq
2. then i need to change the etc/resolv.conf with
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver primaryispdns ( or do i need to do it without adding this :
nameserver secondarzispdns (or even without adding this )
after adding this what do i need to change to mikrotik do i need to give as dns the ip of this computer (radiusmanager ) and with any firewall trick into nat
like redirecting the dns port into this computer and adding dns servers into mikrotik or ppoe profile …

Install dnsmasq on your rm,
add entries in/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver primary ISP dns
now test it by
dig yahoo.com
in results, at the end, you will see the nameserver being used, and ms , try it again and you will see the ms difference, it works good.
Now at mikrotik DNS server, set its primary ip pointing to RM ip, this way mikrotik will query all dns request via RM as its primary source, as DNSMASQ is installed on RM, dns caching function will also be performed thus the dns resolving functions will be much faster.
Now for the client, if you are usnig pppoe , set primary dns in profile pointing to mikrotik ip, secondary to RM ip.

It’s upto you how you wanna route request from squid to WAN.
Either via using Mikrotik, or direct to WAN.
You can return squid data to mikrotik using NAT rule on mikrotik for proxy interface.
The better and simpler approach would be like this.
Use it to make things simpler and faster and more manageable for you.

If you have public IP Pool, you can assign it in RM Services.
On Mikrotik, you don’t have to create NAT rule. All public ip’s users internet will work without it.
As chupaka quoted:
Just remove all your NAT rules
MT without rules is like Linux with ip_forwarding enabled
Also if you wanto use proxy for your public ip users and need to preserve users’ IPs – then you should use external Squid proxy with Balabit TProxy feature enabled. then the websites will see user’s IP, not SQUID ip.

Salam Brother,
Currently I have Radius Manager 3.7 running and 3.9 on another server waiting to take its place however for more than three months I have been having a problem with the PayPal Express Check in that once a user chooses a service they would like to purchase from a remote hotspot we can see that the API request is sent to PayPal and that the PayPal token is returned but it never redirects the user to the PayPal login page but instead returns a “Server timed out” message to the user. But if I copy the PayPal token URL and place it in a web browser we are able to see the PayPal login page. This has made extremely frustrated as the PayPal express checkout worked before in Radius Manager. We contacted them but they stated that a port was block but I don’t see how that could be as I can see the port opening in the Mikrotik RB450 that is connected to the Radius Manager server with the remote Mikrotik Access Points connected to it by way of pptp. BTW, I forward the public IP address for https (443) to the Radius Manager local IP address on port 444. If there is anything you can do to offer some assistance in solving this mystery your help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I would like to thank you in advance for any help you can offer me.

You are probably seeing delay in ping replied ms. It’s normal due to QUEUE you are using to restrict user’s bandwidth.
Its normal. If user is not doing any activity on his pc, his ping reply will be ok, but as he starts browsing and downloading, you will see its impact on ping reply, This is due to heuristic control nature of queuing .
It’s ok you don’t need to do any thing in this regard. Either block the PING/IBMP protocol, which is a preferred way for me.
Or You can make it correct by using the following method.

No configuration is needed. If your RM is connected with the internet via Static IP, you can simply access it from the internet. For example If you have 2 interface cards, one connected with internal LAN, and other with the internet with static live ip, then you can simply access it via
http://public-ipofrm/radiusmanager/admin.php
If you RM is connected via DSL Modem or Router, then you have to port forward port 80 request from modem/router to rm pc.

Always great article, congrats Mr. Syed.
I am trying a different config but some problems and doubts 😉
my net is
internet public IP-> wan -> RB1100AHx2 -> LAN -> same subnet radius1 and 2, backbone – – – syslog is on another subnet
pppoe is on any tower that have different address, auth centralized on DMA RM radius 1 and 2
I will use another subnet 172.16.1.0/24 for proxy; on an ethernet port (172.16.1.1), then my trasparent proxy will have address 172.16.1.2.
You ever had this scenario for parallel proxy?
I accept any help and info, then I will share full config to you for publish.
I had view video about this in Português from Brazil but poor info no full explain.

Comment by TB — April 9, 2013 @ 6:48 PM
Its depend on the network scenario.
You can do some parental control using mikrotik only too. For example, first assign static ip to your targeted pppoe user. then enable web proxy, and redirect his or all users traffic to web proxy, then in web proxy you can filter web sites and apply restrictions to targeted client or all depend on requirements.
Also you can use opendns as your mikrotik primary dns, so all of the adult websites along with many other unwanted sites will be blocked automatically using DNS.

1- Mikrotik user manager is a basic level of radius server. Its fine for small number of users with basic functionalists like account expiry etc. On the other hand DMASOFTLAB RM is full featured 3rd party radius frontend (powered by freeradius) which offers higher level of flexibility, feature rich options, suitable for isps/wips or large scale network. Actually it all depends on the requirement of the network.
2- Yes you can use opewrt or ddwrt or any device you wish to use for simple redirection, even the NAS can redirect un authenticated users. there are several ways to do, i just used this one.

2. My payment gateway is setup on the radius-manager box, will the RB750 use the same or do i have to setup a seperate payment gateway on the hotspot for unauthorized users?
3.On the Squid server, do I have to do the fw.sh file AND the refined config?
4. You said you delibrately left out some configs from the routeros box, beside the config you gave here what else do I need to do the the routeros box?

1- I used rb750 to redirect non authenticated users to advertisement page of the company. I use only PPPoE server as the authentication method. You can use hotspot to achieve the same. its upto you.
2- You can setup hotspot and exlude the payment gateway hosts/ips, then users can access them without login.
3- fw.sh is required only if your squid box have two interfaces, one for lan (or connected with mikrotik interface for users access) and second interface for WAN, then you need to masquerade traffic and you must use fw.sh otherwise not required if using only interface.
4- depends on the goals and requirements. I only left few things that were very specific to the particular isp. thats why i didn’t shared that info, otherwise everything is mentioned here.

I am using Radius Manager V4 with latest patch + Mikrotik V6 for PPPoE Server.
Remote disconnection method in Radius manager is set to Remote.
I am assigning the IP address to end user via IP Pool. I am not giving any of the static ip to any user. I have defined a range of IP Pool in radius manager.
The user is clearly getting the valid IP.
My question is that when the user is getting disconnected and again reconnecting to radius manager using his credentials he is getting the previous IP again.
I want that the user should get a new IP every time he log in.
I am not running any DHCP server. How can it be possible to get a new IP every time the user logs in.
Please give me your valuable support. My mail id is munotpratik1@gmail.com

Hi, i’m try this architecture, but i for a small distribution. i don’t have the firewall, the proxy and the DMZ for the moment. I have one Main Mikrotik RB1100, dmasoftlab and another router RB750. The radius and the RB750 are connected on a switch and the switch to the main router. I don’t see the configuration of the RB750 to redirect user to the Hotspot portal; I have already configure the PPPOE server + NAT on main router. Now my problem is how to configure RB750 to self care portal.
thanks in advance

The Access Point must have SNMP support (so that connected user signals strength should be readable via snmp oid). If this feature is not supported by your AP, the result cannot be showed in the RM.

Dear Sir,
This is really a fantastic howto. We are also implementing a similar network and wanted to know how scalable was your setup. How many simultaneous PPPOE users can the Mikrotik RouterOS handle on the Dual Core 3.6 Ghz machine that you mentioned. We will have approximately 300 users logged in at the same time so what type of machine should we consider for the Mikrotik machine.
Also request you to please email me the firewall scripts at techs436@gmail.com

Dear Sir,
This is a great howto, I am also setting up something similar and wanted your advise on what hardware should I buy. I will have around 300-500 users overall. I am confused if I should buy a 2 CPU server or will a good i7 based desktop machine willl be fine. How many pppoe connections will the Mikrotik RouterOS be able to handle per machine and similarly how many customers can the Radius Maanger handle.
Please advise as you have a lot of experience in this. Lookinf forward to your reply. Also please share the firewall scripts at tech436@gmail.com
Thanks

Hi,
I built my own system with Radius Manager to provide hotspot to PC clients, AP, Gateway also used Mikrotik RouterBoard. These APs connect to Gateway by CAPsMAN function, the services running well, Radius Manager can monitor the online Clients, traffic,.. But just only can not monitor APs signal or SNR, CCQ.
If I connect AP to Gateway without using CAPsMAN function, APs monitoring work well.
So how I can resolve this issue with CAPsMAN function of Mikrotik router.
Thanks.

Hi Syed, I am using Mikrotik and freeradius server for PPPoE Connections. I can authenticate users, set the rate-limit, and total volume a user should have (like quota volume), but what I want is when the user uses up his total volume, a L4 redirect to a payment website should kick in. Also, I want the users to have access to some websites which would not count to the data usage. I would appreciate any help for this. Thanks!

Hi Syed , Please I want to know what is the best method to distribute internet connection to 500 or 1000 users connecting on hotspot? Is it good to have a central point where internet arrives and it is distributed from a switch anywhere? or it is better to have many Point of presence ie many routers and everyone has his internet source point.
Thanks.

It would be better if all location have there own mikrotik rb for hotspot, this way networks will be isolated and work better as they will have there nas closer to them.

Most of the content on the web is now HTTPS which is by in generally not cache-able dueto security reason.
other then https, you can cache normal http pages static contents. it may help average of 10-15 % traffic only (roughly)
try some commercial product like THUNDER-CACHE, i heard it works good.

I followed the installation mon according to the manual
follow the installation mode according to the tutorials
and also according to what I was given the forums
the trick is that I want to put this network up a network as shown in the following picture.
but I certainly can not because I miss the user-manager or maybe because my radius server is installed in a dedicated server and both devices are in different locations
also I want to know if I made a good choice of router mikrotik for this type of interconnection can you help me to set up this network please
