Hi there,

I find myself in remote areas regularly, and I have internet, when nobody else does.

I’m happy to share this internet with people, but I want a time restriction on them, and throttle their speeds etc, so that they don’t smash my internet / data allowance.

I’m looking for a really easy system where they can just sign into a portal, it gives them a certain amount of time based on my settings, then kicks them off again.

I’m using a GLiNet AX1800 if that makes any difference? Also, all of my machines run different versions / distros of Linux.

I’d really appreciate any feedback, or guidance on this.

Thanks so much

    Guess they could also route everything through a VPN exit portal to keep it at least a bit secure from casual snoops if not nation states.

      I do this with my travel router. Connect to the random WiFi that’s probably spying on me, broadcast my own network and let friend and family devices automatically connect to it (same SSID, password as my home WiFi). From the travel router I route everything over VPN to the closest server (I have VPN configured on all my personal devices so I want to avoid latency between the travel router and VPN exit server).
