Baru2 ini saya menerapkan Captive Portal yang cukup lumayan bagus... bukan cuma bagus kok... proses pemasangannya yang sangat mudah.... sangat user friendly banget...
Memang sih banyak banget aplikasi2 Captive Portal : NoCat, NoCatSplah,SWHS, etc deh... tapi sangat saya sayangkan yang agak2 ribet dalam penyetingannya.....
WifiDog memiliki feature2 sbb :
# Captive portal which lets hotspot owners communicate with their users (custom content management).
--- pemilik captive portal dapat berkomunikasi dengan usernya.
# Wifidog gateway runs on GNU/Linux server and embedded device like the Linksys WRT54G with OpenWRT.
---- gatewaynya berbasis linux server dan bisa di embed pada AP linksys WRT54G
# Multi-language support: English, French, German and Portuguese.
---- support dengan multi bahasa.
# Maintain the connection by checking network activity instead of a javascript window. This allows PDAs and cellphones to connect.
--- memiliki fasilitas : checking aktifitas network, dan membolehkan koneksi melalui PDA dan selular.
# Users are unique and have a valid email address in order to open an account. Their privacy must be respected. You can also use a splash only page and do not ask user to create an account.
--- user yang memiliki email address uniq yang dapat membuka account.. user pun dapat membuat splash page.
# Users are able to create a working account directly from any hotspot. New users sign on from any hotspot, create their account and are granted access for 15 minutes to confirm an email. If they don't, they are disconnected.
--- user dapat bekerja dengan accountnya di beberapa hotspot.
# Hotspot monitoring by two way heartbeating, so the central server always knows which hotspots are up, regardles of dynamic DNS, firewalls, etc.
---- monitoring aktifitas yang terjadi pada hotspot
# Firewall has one rule to jump in, one to jump out when a connection is rejected, and one to jump out when a connection is accepted. The gateway must do its own NAT. All this allows wifidog to be integrated easily into an existing firewall configuration.
-- ada firewall
# Statistics : Cumulative bandwidth usage accounting (per connection, per user, per hotspot)
--- statistik koneksi yang lengkap
# Self-identification of the gateways ???
--- pengarahan gateway secara otomatis
