m0n0wall Forum - Allowing PayPal's website through the captive portal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys,

I've been using the monowall firewall system as a captive portal for wifi access in a few hotels I manage. Users buy a voucher from the reception for a timed access.

All is going well but I would like to find a way to allow the users to buy the voucher online via paypal so they don't need to go to the reception or whatever.

I have found someone who can make the paypal system to output a code from an excel document but am having trouble allowing the paypal system through.

The firewall allows certain ip addresses through the system, which I specify, but that's it. You can't make it allow websites through or anything like that.

Also with the way paypal is set up they are constantly changing ip addresses which makes things that much more difficult..

So does anyone have experience with this type of thing? Or has it been done? (That would really be great

)

Thanks
