Hi
On a WISP managed with RB750G with Hotspot, what’s the “elegant” way to notify customers with bad credit / in debt ?
We don’t want them to have the service disconnected, just to receive the message on login page.
Thank you.

To make that work with Hotspots you’ll use the same approach, but first you’ll need to change the flow through the Hotspot (which will lose you the ability to show inserted ads, but that’s hopefully OK):
/ip firewall nat
add chain=pre-hotspot dst-address-type=!local hotspot=auth action=accept
That should do it. Never tried it, though.
Please post back if it does so I can amend that link with Hotspot instructions.
yes, but that’s relative to IP level.
I need to remind hotspot users who today may have one ip, tomorrow, another.
I’m thinking making a user profile with advertising, and assign that profile to bad customers.
Problem is that i never seen advertising work on mikrotik hotspot.
LE: maybe if I put on that profile a address_list assignment, and with that try to redirect…

That’s what I meant, yes.
tried it, works, but on some random users, they get the “disconnected.html” page.
I had to stop the redirection, to stop the complains from regular users.
i’ll try with your rule inserted, any ideea where to insert that ? before line # ?
Unless you have other rules in the pre-hotspot chain the order won’t matter. Order only matters within chains.
