What I'm trying to accomplish is the capability to allow or deny access to
a WiFi hotspot, remotely. At the moment, my ubuntu server is local
(connected to the router that has internet access). I have a VPS but I'm
not entirely sure how to go about configuring it. I'm no stranger to
software engineering but I've just started getting in-depth with networking
so I'm not completely sure of which technologies I'd need or if what I'm
trying to do is possible.
The network configuration that I had in mind consists of a cable modem(with
internet access) connected to a router (with dd-wrt firmware) which then
broadcasts some arbitrary SSID. Clients would then connect to the router
wirelessly then somehow be routed to my VPS which accepts or denies access
to the internet (?).
Authorization is the only aspect that I'm interested in my VPS doing
because of bandwidth restrictions. If it's possible to allow a client to
use the local routers access to the internet once access has been granted
by my VPS then that would be great (and cheaper).
My VPS is running Ubuntu 12.04 has one interface and the NAC that I've been
using is called PacketFence (which is installed but not configured). Please
let me know if more information is needed about the modem, router, or
server.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
