hahahaha, Yea, they hardly ever reply thesedays...because there busy with the new update and complain that they waste all their time on customer service, but its their fault because their product is not well designed, gui's is dodgy and makes no sense to the average client, that's why I re-designed my control panel to make it more user friendly.

the answer to your question...try adding firewall rules ontop on the hotspot rules, to bypass the hotspot proxy, source, destination, protocol and port number, go mad with security, you don't want anyone to exploit your new rule, by creating themself a ptp tunnel using your bypass rule and have uncapped link, hahaha. piggy back piggy back..

What you are trying to achieve cannot be done by the radius server. You'll have to attack this problem between the CPE and the highsite.

Do you use Mikrotik as CPE as well?

I normally do one of the following: On the highsite, create a second PPPoE service, but with a different service name. On the CPE, create two PPPoE clients, and connect each one to a different service on the highsite. One PPPoE should be "uncapped", and you only route traffic to your offsite backup server over this PPPoE client. Your capped PPPoE client gets used for normal internet access.

The second (and easier) method, is to create a /30 IP range between the CPE and the highsite. This range runs alongside the PPPoE client, and bypasses the traffic accounting of the PPPoE. On your CPE you then add your default route over the PPPoE, and a separate route for your backup server over the /30 range. Remember to masquerade traffic going out on the PPPoE, as well as going out on the /30

Controlc - great idea
OR
Create a 2nd PPPoE for each user in RM thats wants that Backup service which gets metered at a lower rate per GB or NO rate

but they don't seem to ever reply.

He will always tell u its coming in the new release ;

thanks for the advice so far guys.
But 90% of our clients use ubiquity, so they can only run one pppoe at a time, and i really don't want to have to add more hardware on their side for this.
I just don't understand why Radius can't just exclude some IP pools for usage metering...

Hi,
We are investigating Blissradius: http://blissradius.com/index.php
We are using Mikrotik and UBNT.

This is not an issue with Radius Manager. The RADIUS protocol was never designed to do what you are trying to achieve. RADIUS accounts the full client session to your network, not only certain IP's.

Unfortunately the easiest way around this is to add hardware on the client side. A Mikrotik RB750 would be my first choice.

A slightly more customized radius solution would allow you to route the zero rated traffic separately then reverse account it.

 

[WiFibre]

There is a way.

Your next master service can be set to a service using an IP pool that is not routed for internet traffic. So set up a new IP pool routed to your office and have the next master service on a package that gets one of those IP's so it's like a VPN on the network.

So when they get capped and reverted to next service it's on the package that only allows for the local traffic

 

[controlc]

I don't see this as a solution. The local traffic will still be accounted as part of the cap, until the cap gets reached and the client moves to the next (local only) pool.

OK I thought he meant capped as in already out of data having reread it I see he means to seperate the traffic.

He can set the customers CPE into bridge mode and have the Firewall/router that side dail an additional PPPoE account so dailing 2. One for internet with it's own cap and one for data backups and just route the data backups over to the second PPPoE account. He will need to set it as a static and configure the customers server to use that WAN gateway for backups. Great thing is then he can queue the data backups to 1Mbps or the desired speed and still have the customer using whatever speed internet and it's only a software change so no costs will be incurred.

Hi,
We are investigating Blissradius: http://blissradius.com/index.php
We are using Mikrotik and UBNT.

Simplicity of Blissradius: 9/10
Simplicity of Radius Manager: 3/10

I'm not even sure if Blissradius got a user control panel or credit card payment system, if not utterly useless!

Do I want Blissradius? Hells No!

...You can kinda do the same with a mikrotik routerboard hey.. the only thing that your not going to get is the invoice part..

How did you re-design your control panel ? with what software ?

 

[TheRoDent]

What you require isn't a RADIUS problem. It's a network / NAS problem.
