Does anyone have a succes story with pfSense and logging wifi accesses ?
It appears that in the near future, activity of all wifi access granted to
customers outside your organization needs to be logged... so that in case of
misuse, you can show it was a customer and not an employee...

I was first thinking on using the captive portal... but this wouldn't allow
me to log their accesses.
I then thought on using the proxy squid in pfSense, but to have logging
enabled, I probably shouldn't use an Alix solution with a CF card, since
this will do many writes onto the CF, and ultimately destroy it. (and I feel
that that the Alix-CPU isn't quite up to the task for squidproxy).

So how does one solve this on quite an economic way ? Since my customer
doesn't want to make his customers pay for this solution, but he also
doesn't like the idea of being accused of misuse...

I could think about a low-level computer, with a SATA disk... install
pfsense on that, and have a 3-legged network solution :
1 WAN, 1 LAN, 1 PUBLIC   (in which the PUBLIC needs to be authenticated with
CARP, and have proxysquid active on all the users on the PUBLIC port).

Can the captive portal tokens be linked into the squid-log ?


Kind regards,
Michel
