Topic: Using monowal to securitise a WAP  (Read 1066 times)

Hi,

I am attempting to use a Soekris 4801 embedded system with m0n0wal on it to act as a captive portal for a WAP in my office.

What I want to do at a minimum is allow access to the internet via the WAP.  My problem is my network is has a Cisco firewall on it already.  I would like the mono firewall to have it's wan interface connected to my private network with restrictions so it will only access the internet for our customers and visitors and less privileged users.
opt1 interface connected to the WAP

I would love to have the LAN interface setup as access to my private network for special users

Is this actually possible using M0n0wal?  What should I be modifying in the firewall settings to get this to work.

Can this be done with M0n0wal's captive portal and user management?

Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

I did a quick network diagram of the basics of the system.

I found the faq for the same setup by the Hospice of St. Francis.  It works a treat except now my webgui is accessable from the public WAP but my private lan has no access to it.  I have tried configuring the WAN interface to allow HTTPS and denying HTTPS on the LAN interface but for some reason it is not affecting anything...
