Wi-Fi access point with limited web traffic
LockedHi all,
it has been asked by a local ONLUS to install a wi-fi access point for 40-50 persons who can navigate only on a certain web sites.
If I am right – but ask for the help to experts- in order to LIMIT the web traffic to 2-3 domains, a Firewall must be coupled to a managed Switch before driving the Access Point. So far as I know, there is no access point on the face of the earth, no matter how expensive and advanced, which includes FW and VLAN functions such as to exclude ALL sites EXCEPT a few. I mean, I haven’t been able to find it on the marker.
That said, I wanted show a practical example of the problem so we can compare ourselves on certain data.
Essential prerequisite: users who connect to the wi-fi will only be able to browse the regione.toscana.it website (including minisites from the same domain), and access to Google Play, Apple Store to update the apps.
ONLY THAT.1) The antenna to cover the user area could be a NETGEAR WAX620 or UBIQUITY U6 Lite (PoE).
2) The Firewall could be a Nethesis Security Box S20
3) Switch managed could be a NETGEAR PoE + GS308EPP

Could this solution work?If so, are there cheaper hardware solutions? Let’s say that the 8 ports of the switch are sufficient, the PoE + is needed because in the point where the antenna will be installed there is already a network cable (but not the power supply).
I accept advice!
Thanks
