Hi Tim, > There's a fair number of devices (20-30) on the network at any time.
I've not used it, and don't fully understand its operation, but I wonder if RADIUS is well suited to the `authentication and authorisation' of clients to the home network. https://freeradius.org/ is popular and packaged for Debian. This would be at a higher level than MAC or IP address and allow password or certificates to be used for authentication. With RADIUS's third `A', accounting, CC#2 could be given the option of out of hours access for a fee. :-) -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-04-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
