I'm wanting to use Packetfence to offer internet access to business customers
while on our premises. Ideally I'd like to be compliant with the EU Data
Retention Directive as detailed here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive
My understanding is that, effectively allowing another user to use our internet
connection makes us liable for their activities, unless we can identify a user
to the relevant authorities.
The obvious way to do this is to assign a public IP to the users and record
when each IP is assigned to each user, (along with the relevant contact
details.) This is what I believe the majority of ISPs will do. The problem
with this is that obtaining Public IP addresses may be problematic and
expensive. As such I'd rather avoid it.
Again my understanding is that if I use a private IP we'll be required to track
pretty much all user activity. For web traffic that should be feasible using a
proxy however I'm not sure it's practical for other protocols. The simplest
solution would be to block all other traffic, but that seems frustrating for
users who access a VPN or IMAP mail for example.
Does Packetfence have a handy way of dealing with this? Or am I
misinterpreting the requirements?
Thanks
John
