Using internet only for a day
-
Dear Expertise ,
I want to distribute internet connection inside a LAN Based on a ticket ( like a topup card). This card should be valid only for a day . For the new day He or she should get a new card from my desk . Can you please let me know how is it possible and what is the software and system that can fulfill my requirement .
Thank you so much for the hint

Maybe something like what hotels use for daily guest access?

Can you let me know the name of the system they are using ????

I've never implemented one but they are pretty common. Some APs might do it internally even.

It's called a captive portal. There are some open source ones if your APs won't do it.

@Farhad-Farahmand - There are options built in UniFi if you are using Ubiquiti gear.

Willie Howe does a ton of youtube videos on Ubiquiti. The one below is integrating Stripe but you can do a voucher style system instead.

I had pretty good success with pfSense in the past. It features a built-in captive portal and guest vouchers. Stable, reliable and highly customizable. Plus there's no need for spezialized access points or wireless controllers.
