Hi All,
I'm lately suffering from Quota abuse at home. believe it or not my
teenagers are eating through my allowed quota.
Hence, i'm thinking of setting up a centos machine to work as such:
HDSL modem(natted to an onboard dhcp service for lan users) -> Centos -
> Switch - LAN users
Hw specs:
3 GB ram
3.0 core 2 duo
2 X 1 TB HDD
2 X 1 Gb NIC
Centos will contain the following:
1. DHCP # is there a way i could use the modem's dhcp service
instead? or using a centos based dhcp service is better?
2. Samba # sharing files for lan users
3. Squid
4. clamav
5. OpenRadius # wifi authentication
6. knockd service (anyone tried it? i read about this service a few
weeks ago and am wondering if it's worth giving it a shot... for public
access to the server )
6. Things which are needed :
a. Ability to separate Wireless router from LAN. (thinking
of vlans though as i have a dumb switch am thinking of adding a 3d NIC
to my desktop and dedicating it to the wifi ? )
b. Accountablity of quota and bandwidth used (i was
thinking of SARG and SQstat for squid)
c. using some sort of shell script that will parse squid
logs (mysar will help me access squid logs through mysql) and if someone
bypassed their allowed quota for the day they will be moved to a delay
pool with lower bandwidth.
As you noticed above, my whole "connection management" is relying on
squid, i'm worried that it will process only traffic that's forwarded
to port "80" instead of everything going through the server. any idea if
thats the case?
I previously thought of untangled, and IPCOp, though i don't want a
standalone router as i'd like to be able to use VirtualBox over it
occasionally.
waiting for your advice about the above setup, keep in mind that i don't
mind changing the setup if there's something better to use, actually i
do prefer it.
Best,
--Roland
