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?
Make all traffic go through a proxy server located at the egress point of your network. Try find some metering software or write something yourself which would be an interesting project.
And share it under GPL :)
Squid-cache with delay pool permits quota. Squidclient provides monitoring
Thanks all for your quick response.
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:-
