Some FrequentlyAskedQuestions about NoCatAuth:
What is NoCatAuth?
NoCatAuth is a CaptivePortal solution for restricting access to networks.
- Where can I download it from?
Take a look at http://nocat.net
- How do I connect to it?
As a user on a network protected by NoCatAuth, simply try to browse the web as usual, and you will be redirected to a special web page with instructions. -- KeeganQuinn
Does PTP use a central NoCatAuth server and one user database or does each node have its auth server and user database?
Currently, PersonalTelco nodes generally use NoCatAuth's "Open" mode, which means there is no authentication server or user database. Users simply click "Agree" after viewing the NodeSplashPages. -- KeeganQuinn
Are there any tutorials on how to setup NoCatAuth with an auth server?
- How do I set to allow only certain users and disallow anonymous to use ?
