So glad to see a hotspot serivce added to the system. Thank you.

Understanding this is a beta service for now, I would like to know if there is a way to allow users who are connected via PPTP or PPPOE to bypass the hotspot redirect.

Ex: I would like to run an open, but limited version of my service using the hotspot as authentication, but I have a hotel client that authenticates via PPTP on a NAT router then distributes the connection to their rooms. I would not want the hotel to have to hand out their password just so their guests could log in.

It would also be nice to see a separate radius configuration for the hotspot, but I guess that could be implemented by setting the built in radius server to work with realms... Now I am going off topic.

Sorry, but I am quite excited that hotspot is finally in StarOS.

Glad you like the hotspot support.

Thank you for the heads-up in regards to pptp. We will include a bypass in the next release that will not hotspot ppp interfaces such as pptp and pppoe.

At the moment the radius configuration is shared between pppoe and pptp. This behavior may change in the future.

Thanks!
