How to implement paid access to Wi-Fi on the territory of the recreation center, with automatic issuance of login/password pairs?

Question

System administration

There is a recreation center with seven houses located on the territory of ~ 200 * 200 meters.
There is an incoming optical channel.
It is required to raise a network with blackjack and a radius server.
With automatic generation of login/password pairs.
And where is it without billing.
There are no specifics on the equipment and software solutions used, I will gladly take the advice of experienced ones, now I’m looking at a bunch of Mikrotik + freeradius, but it’s not clear yet with billing, and how to implement payment, there is no fundamental task of paying through a bunch of payment systems, you can use cash :D
Ah yes, while it is desirable to implement the task without global violations of the legislation of the Russian Federation

Answer 1

Put a good pair of mikrotik with wifi on board
Start seamless roaming on it (CamsMAN)
Divide networks into admin and guest
networks Isolate access to the main network (that is, give guests addresses from another pool)
And there is no need to bother, login password, etc.
Everything is much easier! - as an option of course!
Manov for all this in the internet is a dime a dozen!

Answer 2

it is desirable to implement the task without global violations of the legislation of the Russian Federation

Do not be greedy, the cost of the Internet is negligible against the background of the cost of rooms. Distribute the password non-publicly and undocumented, like friends. Provide a wide channel in the evening and in bad weather, when children watch cartoons.)) Or you will lose customers but find trouble.

Answer 4

What's the budget?
Or you have enough money to create and support your own local provider. Or you negotiate with your provider so that he can do this. Either you do everything by artisanal methods and at the first incident you are in prison on a mass of charges, given the trash in the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Answer 5

Обратитесь к вашему интернет-провайдеру. Сами вы ничего сделать не сможете.

Answer 6

без глобальных нарушений законодательства РФ

Нужна лицензия. Обратитесь к провайдеру — у них должна быть партнёрская программа. Добавьте название провайдера.

Answer 7

Of course, a lot has already been written here, but I'll put in my 5 cents.
With regards to legality. It is necessary to obtain a license to provide telematic services (or whatever it is). Otherwise, you will be punished for such feints without a license.
It is possible to lift similar infrastructure on pfSense. There is a Radius server for billing, and squid for a proxy, and a host of other tools.
My purely personal opinion. With the current tariffs for the Internet (if you have it, of course, on optics), bothering with paying for Wi-Fi is complete nonsense. You will just lose customers. Provide it as a free service with a simple username/password issuance.
If you need to somehow legalize in terms of providing public Wi-Fi services, just conclude an agreement with the provider. In the vast majority of cases, they will take care of all the troubles for the legalization of this event. If you really need to recapture the Internet, then just do some analytics: how much does it cost you to buy the "public wi-fi for clients" service per month, what is the average client flow per month, divide the amount by the number of clients, include this amount in the cost of renting rooms. So you will not lose customers, the cost of your services will increase (I am more than sure) slightly, solve the problem of paid Internet. To the heap, with the provider, you can discuss the conditions for Wi-Fi, such as how much free traffic will be, it is possible that social networks and traffic managers do not take into account what speed to set for clients, reasonable without prejudice to customers. They have these tools and they are legal.
PS. Don't be greedy))

Answer 8

If by law, SMS authorization will be required.
Well, it's better to distribute to customers for free
