Hotspot (Internet for Guest) on open server or 3200 Appliance

HarryB — Tue, 19 May 2020 11:05:39 GMT

Hello,

is it possible to use Hotspot functionallity on an open server or non SMB appliances?
Today we use it via small Fortigate appliances. But I will use my Checkpoint for this. Which is on site

What can I do to use it. I found nothing about landing page, and so on

regards

This is an exclusive feature of SMB appliances - you would use other vendors HW for WLAN APs with Hotspots and connect them by cable to CP GWs.

Explore the browser based authentication options for Identity Awareness, it might suit your use case.

What type of features are you looking for? Most "hot spot" features these days are handle by your WLAN controller versus the firewall, with the firewall just providing basic firewall protection to the Internet and segmenting from the rest of your network (if your WLAN controller isn't doing that already.)
