Can anyone share their thoughts on their favorite captive portal software to run on OpenWrt? They all seem to have their shortcomings. I'm just looking to provide guest internet access with the hijacked browser page that requires someone to enter a code to proceed.

CoovaChilli is easy to setup and offers an option to authenticate users from a local flat file (no RADIUS needed).

Hope this helps,

Hi,
did anybody tried this solution ? If I understand correctly, this is a replacement for Chillispot right ?

When I try to install it :

root@ap:#  ipkg install http://ap.coova.org/kamikaze/mips/coova-chilli_1.0.11-1_mips.ipk
Downloading http://ap.coova.org/kamikaze/mips/coova-chilli_1.0.11-1_mips.ipk
Clearing state_want and state_flag for pkg=coova-chilli (arch_priority=0 flag=16 want=2)
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 4.
Collected errors:
Cannot find package coova-chilli.
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'

ok I solved it by compiling it on my own since I run a trunk version onf openwrt.

Could you please tell me where is this option ?  I tried:

HS_USELOCALUSERS=on      # To use the /etc/chilli/localusers file

But I'm not sure which has to be the syntax of this file. Im not even sure that it's the correct option.

well the syntax of this file is

login:password
