Hi...
I intended to use this SHAT to allow users with some static IP configuration and different from the Chillispot dhcp-server IPs... to access the internet without changes on its IP configuration.
I mean:
1) User can keep its static IP configuration;
2) SHAT translate the amazing user IP configuration into some valid Chillispot IP address internally... transparent to the user.
It means that Chillispot will have an internal table to translate Chillispot DHCP-server IP versus User_amazing_static_IP;
This kind of feature is already done by several commercial products. One of them is Mikrotik RouterOS.
REgards,

Yes simplywifi....!!!
This SHAT project is very interesting. I downloaded and make it to rum here in Fedora7 but... no success.
I was monitoring the traffic in debug mode and it shows an error in the returning path of the packet.
I understood that this project should be based on:
a) proxy arp programming knowledge;
b) dhcp client programming knowledge;
Considering you have a dhcp server... I mean... a pool of available IP addresses... this project should role as dhcp client dealing with MAC addresses coming from proxy arp, and playing dhcpclient role inside the chillispot.
I am not sure if I could make you understand because of my poor English.
Sincerely,

Hello ajauberg,
Thank you for your usefull information.

I dont have an environment here to test it now.
But I understand the chillispot creates a virtual interface called "tun0" from where all traffics come in from.
And on the iptables rule that you showed... "tun0" is not considered.
Maybe you should apply an ACCEPT on INPUT/FORWARD when interface is tun0.
$iptables -A INPUT -i tun0 -j ACCEPT
$iptables -A FORWARD -i tun0 -j ACCEPT

Hi,

Post the scripts here and maybe I should be able to help you.

There is a project at sourceforge called "SHAT".
SHAT stands for Source Hardware (MAC) Address Translation daemon.
It uses a method to allow any computer... even with **ANY static IP configuration** to access internet.
The actual control could be done via captive portal authentication (Chillispot).
Thank you.
Hello,
Regarding client laptops/users... they have wireless interface set as dhcp client mode. I mean... they will receive whole IP configuration from hotspot system.
Chillispot may be used to control internet access and usage on wired network too... concerning the captive gateway system.
Will **chillispot** be able to allow client laptop/users with STATIC IP CONFIGURATION (ip/network not belonging to 192.168.182.0/24) automaticaly without oblying client/user to change its static IP configuration?
I saw a solution that allows this feature at sourceforge as SHAT project. But it has a bug today.
TIA,

Hello,
PPTP type VPN uses tcp port 1723 to the server.
Also protocol 47 (GRE) should be allowed.
This is a firewall issue of the linux box which hosts Chillispot... but it is not an issue of Chillispot.
Hope this helps,

Hello,
Is there alternative to "hotspotlogin.cgi" ?
I mean... some other web page solution which can be easily customized.
Maybe in PHP.
Helps are very welcome.
TIA,
