I have 8 GB SD card and if needed I can mount USB drive as well. And is it necessary to compile squid from source rather then installing by apt-get ? Also I searched on squid delay pools but did'nt get any exact method to limit quota ,rest all are to limit bandwidth speed . will try it practically once i receive my Wifi Adapter. Also I would like to ask, Is it easily achievable to do with Capative Portal like fruitywifi or wifidog ? -- *Rahul.R.Mahale.*

[Network] Need suggestion
by Rahul Mahale 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hi, I have a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian, and I have configured it as a wifi hotspot using Hostapd and dhcp server. Mobile clients connect to the wifi network and browse internet. I need to keep the track of each user, how much internet data it uses, and also need to limit the user to particular data limit (e.g:1 GB). I need to track data plan, as well how much data used or left for particular user. Which tool or configuration will allow me to achieve this scenario? Thanks in Advance. -- *Rahul.R.Mahale.(**http://rahulmahale.wordpress.com/ <http://rahulmahale.wordpress.com/>**)*

Sure I will try using squid proxy server and will know the status. What ever i will do will undoubtedly under GPL, will push it to Github once after success. Thanks:- -- *Rahul.R.Mahale.*
