The ISP series is BACK! We've made some progress since our last update, and in this episode, we take a look at RADIUS and get it set up on the Portmaster to enable user access control.

We've also setup a web portal that will allow our Patrons to access and monitor RADIUS activity, and we've included the ability to create new users for ISP access. We'll be following up shortly with another post detailing how to access.
