Hi there,

I find myself in remote areas regularly, and I have internet, when nobody else does.

I’m happy to share this internet with people, but I want a time restriction on them, and throttle their speeds etc, so that they don’t smash my internet / data allowance.

I’m looking for a really easy system where they can just sign into a portal, it gives them a certain amount of time based on my settings, then kicks them off again.

I’m using a GLiNet AX1800 if that makes any difference? Also, all of my machines run different versions / distros of Linux.

I’d really appreciate any feedback, or guidance on this.

Thanks so much

    This is a bad idea. You’re basically wanting to be held legally responsible for the actions of complete strangers on your connection. Good luck with that.

      That’s a legitimate concern, but this can be easily mitigated by routing “guest” traffic into a VPN.

      Guests might encounter more captchas than usual but better than no internet.

      Guess they could also route everything through a VPN exit portal to keep it at least a bit secure from casual snoops if not nation states.
