    Hi,

    OK, user will time out after 30 min slot, but he will re-authenticate again to get another 30min slot. So what's the point ?

    How would you like to prevent above mentioned situation ?

    Fair use .. what about bigger connection, or traffic shaping, or guest account management and time limited access tokens ..  rather than some generic time slots ?

     

    Best regards,

    Tomas

    Just to confirm, when you say users are you referring to random public users, guest users requiring a login, or internal known users?

     

    You are able to setup webfiltering quotas for all categories so that everyone has 30mins access within a 24hour time period (or you could do it by data).
