“Almaekerotk?!?!”

Looks like I have the same problem with “Netcut” on my payed hotspot (Standard MT-hotspot), but only from time to time.
However, now I am asked to implement several FREE hotpots on an university campus. Actually I am afraid of it, because of the chance to attract a crowd of “netcutters” from the smart students.

I did not find any simple to use cookbook for protection using a search on this forum.
Any updates for this topic ?

In my opinion the safest way to protect clients from Netcut to control their access to the network.

  • WPA/WPA2 configuration on AP should do the job for the wireless clients;
  • Management switch should do the job for Ethernet network;

When it is not possible to use both mentioned options, but 100% defense from netcut is needed, I would recommend to use PPPoE server;

  • disable IP address on local interface;
  • setup PPPoE server on the local interface;
    PPPoE client gets address, when PPPoE session is established.

Hi, sergejs:
I think, all the offered solutions are not user friendly enough for a public/free hotspot.
And they interfere with the standard hotspot-setup of RoS. So installation is not easy.
I would appreciate a “99%” solution, easy to be used together with default MT hotspot setup.

May be, we can discuss some general approaches ?

How about

  • During login to MT-hotspot, in alogin.html insert a script to create a static ARP entry to the gateway (MT-box)
    for the hotspot-client
  • in hotspot on MT-box, create static ARP to hotspot-client entry after successful login
  • block ICMP in MT-box firewall

Any comments ?

Static ARP does not work with HotSpot Universal client.
