www.nocat.net NoCatAuth. in Open mode (no authentication required). Basically the machine is a firewall/router, and it redirects all port 80 requests to the local machine, and blocks all other traffic until the User clicks "i accept". After the user clicks "i accept" it changes the firewall rules to let that IP / MAC address through for a specified period of time. After the user leaves, or the time is up, the firewall rules get removed, and the user gets redirected to the splash page.
NoCatAuth runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux. It could be ported to other systems also. NoCatAuth also runs the Bowling Green wireless network, and is used at many other places, like the Philadelphia convention center. NoCatAuth is free and GPLed. --Terry > What are the technical specs for the Portal being used that requests users > agree to the Terms before using the wireless access in Bryant Park?
