Package name : wifi-hotspot Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : ? URL : License : GPL Programming Lang: php Description : Captive portal wifi hotspot software application wifi-hotspot is a public access captive portal php application used for client of access, time, and bandwidth usage of a hotspot node on a network. It's a fork and extensive update of Grase, on which it is based. Grase was publicly abandoned in 2017 by its author. So far, it contains two dependencies, both packaged as Debian packages. One is an up to date version of CoovaChilli, developed by Coova Technologies; the second one comprises various Debian packages used in the original Grase package, repackaged as a single Debian package for ease of install. There is a maintenance release, along with a preview release being developed for later release.

The release candidates are available for wide beta release. The maintenance release has been extensively tested, the preview release awaits maturation of the underlying OS for testing. Three payment modules implemented, but await further development. A fourth is working correctly, but awaits wide beta testing. The architecture of the underlying process supports adding additional payment processors. SMTP modules are completed and extensively tested. Supports Gmail and generic SMTP mail servers for multifactor authentication. Localization completed for end user experience. Localization for system operator subject for next upgrade. Self registration complete, with MFA included. Can be operated as free service with registration, free service without registration, or pay service. New feature excludes device/network from captive portal control, so can be integrated anywhere in any network. Duration of access and bandwidth usage both configurable, with automatic fallback upon subscription expiration. Complies with GDPR and payment processing privacy requirements. There is limited sysop access to personally identifying data, and no access to complete financial transaction data. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JGYMccD-PioqUZVWit9fLLtyrbtgeilG/view?usp=drive_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WFVgXSBZyJgG1uMzFSPpwnpwRjj68PJf/view?usp=drive_link https://github.com/cchamb2/Wifi-captive-portal-hotspot/releases/tag/Hotspot
