I've tried to delete logout.html and rewrite the html code, but nothing seems to stop users from logging out.
When they put http://www.myhotspot.com/logout in the browser they are logged off. I want to prevent this from happening so the uptime-limit counter don't stop until the time is up. Is this possible with the built-in user-database or do I need to use Radius?

I just cant figure-out why you would not allow your users to log-out?

Are they paying for time-usage?

Your right, the customers are paying for a time period of 24,48 hours and so on. That's why I need to stop logoff. Any advice?

If you have set up you hotspot right, then you should not any problems using the uptime-limit checkbox. If you would like them to be disconnected if they are not doiung anything then activate ide-timeout too.

Hope this helps.

I don't have a problem with the uptime-limit. I need to stop users from login out. Idle-timeout is also set to 24-48 hours and so on.
Has anyone done this before?

hmmmmm. So what you need is like an expiry time. A user account expires 24 or 48 hours after first use. (e.g. a demo/trial account) The user cannot stop the time used (via logout or any countdown timer) and will continually consume uptime untill the account expires.

You can use MT Hotspot Manager as your RADIUS and use the valid until.

well... of course one thing you can do is to disable completely all traffic from authenticated clients to the hotspotpages at all (not only to logoff page, but also to status page and other) by using "hotspot" matcher ininputchain of the firewall (something like add chain=input hotspot=auth,local-dst action=drop). you can also try to play wih it by adding "content" matcher for "logoff" substring, but i do not know id it will work... please report back on success.
