Mikrotik User Manager as Radius Server

I continue to post about hotspot billing system. Actually I wanted to post about Daloradius. However, because still need more experiments, then I delay for a while. And now I'm posting about the "user manager" of the Mikrotik. What is a user manager? User Manager is a RADIUS server application. It is a separate package for RouterOS.

Mikrotik and EasyHotspot, as Hotspot Billing System

In the previous post, we already know about the mikrotik hotspot. And the next experiments, mikrotik hotspot added a EasyHotspot as radius server. Can be seen in the picture. In this experiment, Chillispot and login page, on EasyHotspot, not used and should be removed. Mikrotik will replace the function of Chillispot and login page. Actual merger mikrotik with radius server, I've created, in a project by PT xxx. But I had forgotten what a hotspot billing system used. And it is not archived.

Configure Mikrotik as a Hotspot Server

 

There are many posts on how to configure Mikrotik as hotspot. But I am sure this is not the result of a cheat sheet. Even if some of section are the same, it was fate. Mikrotik is a friendly operation system, and is very easy to configured. Enough to know the concept of network, plus with a Winbox, then you will easily configure the Mikrotik, in accordance with your wishes. I configured wireless outdoor of mikrotik, as a hotspot. I forget the type of the mikrotik. It's been a long time. And now for the post on this blog, I configure the mikrotik hotspot again, but this time, the mikrotik is installed inside vmware.

Let’s begin.

Upgrade Squid Proxy Server, 3.1.22 to 3.3.3

A few days ago, suddenly, my squid proxy server (squid version 3.1.22 as transparent proxy) does not work or hangs. Weird... I've checked everything, but no luck. These are I have done,

1. check with command, ps ax | grep squid, ... ok.
2. check in /var/log/error.log,...no error, running well.
3. check on the firewall, shorewall, normal.
4. check router mikrotik, good.

Transparent Proxy with Squid 3.3.2 on Ubuntu 12.10 + Shorewall + Mikrotik

 

This post explains how to setup a transparent proxy (intercept proxy) by combining mikrotik and squid eksternal. Look at a network above. a mikrotik as router, coupled with a proxy server (squid as transparent proxy). In the previous article has been discussed about this network. You can read at "Ubuntu 12.10 + Squid (Transparent Proxy) + Shorewall + Mikrotik". But the squid that was used is version 3.1.23. If you replace it with squid version 3.2.8 or 3.3.2, would be an error. The reason is, the proxy misrepresented the "redirect".
So.  If you want to use squid 3.2.8 or 3.3.2 as a transparent proxy, in a network as above, then there are some things that should be changed, the configuration on the router mikrotik and the Squid.
A few steps below, would be similar to the steps at "Transparent Proxy Server, Squid 3.3.2 / 3.2.8 on Ubuntu 12.10 + Shorewall"
We begin by configuring the Ethernet.

vi /etc/network/interfaces
