Create a Public Hotspot from my router, that handles auto time out when their session is done, etc? (lemmy.ml)

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

openwrt seems to support opennds which have quotas, you could investigate about them

I'll check into this thank you. I was sort of hoping for an internet Cafe styled admin tool. I'll start here though.
