How can I set up router default web page on Debian/GNU?

chmario · 10-10-2009, 11:24 AM

I have set up a LAN/WLAN, DDNS server, DCHP server, and a proxy/NAT server using Debian/GNU.

Now I would like to redirect the host web browser to a welcome web page so the users of my network can read the terms of use and accept them before having access to the internet.

Could some one help me to achieve this? any help will be appreciated I am clueless on this topic.

Thanks

This is a rather involved project.

You'll need to use iptables to test whether or not a request has been
pre-approved. If so, it changes nothing. If not, it needs to send
the request to your webserver. Your webserver then needs to have a
way to grant access in a way that iptables on your server understands.

carltm thanks for your re play, but please be more specific since im clueless in this topic.

- What kind of IP table rules allow to check for pre-approved access?
- How do I send the requests to my web server?

I hope you can help me further.
