Hi Dimitri,

Thanks for the clues, i will look at what i can do with the switch.

We have the right amount of public IP available (only a class C, but
for around 150 users, that's plenty enough), so no reason to NAT.

I have been running a bridged firewall (FreeBSD + ipf) for ages (since
FreeBSD 4.0 maybe), it is working smoothly, it is invisible (obscurity
is not security, but it contributes to security), it simplifies
routing (one less hop) and in case of problem, it can be replaced with
an Ethernet cable. That's among the reasons why I like bridged
firewall.

Now captive portal is requirement by the country (Thailand) that host
our institute.

Best regards,

Olivier
