hotspot should create a queue tree entry for each user, when another user logs on using the same username, it gets put on the sub branch of that tree entry.

In short yes, a radius server would be your best bet.

Mikrotik has builtin radius server (user manager)

This can be used to set download limits as well as rate limits.

If both port forwarding and VPN to RB532 is not working maybe the problem lies with your DSL router.
