Re: Router MAC

MAC is a supported variable in the hotspot page code. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Customizing_Hotspot#List_of_available_variables You could make the login page on the hotspot redirect to a URL which includes the mac in the URL as a GET variable: http://myhostpotpage.example.com/signup.php?...

Of course. The VPN is used only for management and things like RADIUS. Keep it all in a local subnet e.g. under 10.x.x.x. The actual user and internet traffic is routed directly. Awesome!

Re: Feature Request: URL as an option for radius IP

Sure it could be convenient. However, I would advise to deploy a VPN for management and authentication. The bonus for cases like this is that you can have a fixed IP for your RADIUS server within the VPN. But it also simplifies the correct firewalling against break-in attempts. That's a great sugge...

Feature Request: URL as an option for radius IP

Hi,

It would be nice if we could put a domain or URL in place of an IP. There are times when the IP could change and having to put an actual IP makes it difficult to chance every device we have deployed. (ie radius1.mydomain.com)
