General Discussion / Re: Need some short infos about tickets/vouchers, please
« on: August 08, 2024, 02:05:35 pm »Hi all,Yes, OPNSense supports voucher systems for controlled internet access. You can configure time-limited access codes easily. Thank you for asking.
please forgive me misusing this forum for personal time saving, I am sure I could find all the infos I need somewhere. I don't have opnsense yet, but still need to find out wether a specific setup would be possible.
I am working as a teacher in a school, and the problem is that we need to limit Internet acccess via our WLAN for pupils.
What I have in mind is a ticket system like I have seen in many hotels. If a teacher decides that Internet access is useful for a specific class, he opens a website with his account and generates an access code, which is valid for a specific time, say, next two hours. He then gives this one code to all pupils of his class. The pupils enter it into their devices, and have Internet access for the next 2 hours. A different teacher may do the same for his class, and issue a code for his pupils covering a difefrent time.
I am quite sure this works, but before I trigger the IT folks ... just to be sure ... can this be set up on OPNSense?
I recently read an essay on public health and realized that constantly browsing the Internet is bad for our mental health. By the way, I read on this https://papersowl.com/examples/public-health/ resource, if you are interested in this topic like me, then you can read these essays. I would like to do what I wrote about above so that the mental health of our students does not deteriorate.
Many thanks for taking the time to answer,
Armin.
