Limit total traffic of each client on open Wi-Fi

Hello.

We have an open Wi-Fi network that anyone can connect to without authenticating.
We want each client who connects to be able to browse at most 1Gb of data per day. (of any type, navigation, online video, etc.)
Is it possible to do this?

Thank you so much. (sorry for my English, im Spanish)

Hi, that is not easy to setup because you have not defined how many clients you will have on any day and how you identify them? Ian

Hi Paco,

As Ian suggested above this would be a difficult setup without identifying them accordingly.

What you can configure for that setup without authentication is to limit each individual traffic eg. only 1MBps, 125Kilobyte/s during the time they are connected or whichever you prefer.

You may create a rule base traffic shaping for the Wifi-network(kindly follow along this Community RR: Sophos Firewall: How to Configure QoS and understanding the conceptual difference between the shared and individual )

Hi Raphael.

This means that a connected user is not permanently browsing, even at low speed. We want that once a mac address is connected, when it has 1GB of traffic the navigation will be cut off.

Hi Paco,

I have a suggested method that is only suitable for a small number of users. I will take a while to document the steps as I see them.

Thank you very much, it's a good idea, but it's not what we're looking for.
I have opened a support case with Sophos to see if it is possible.
If there is a solution, I will put what is suggested here.

Thank you very much to all.
