Hello,

By what mechanism does quotas "shut down all internet access" ?

Can this be modified/scripted?

for example: (instead of doing what it does)
toggle wifi to off when daily bandwidth limit reached

background:
2 internet connections(on 2 separate routers)
(1 fast and metered, the other slow and unlimited)

Would like to like to toggle wifi off (until quota reset,)
thus forcing clients to
use the secondary wifi/SSID on an unconnected/separate
AP/router... then toggle wifi back on upon quota reset.

Thanks.

It is all done within iptables, so nothing you can really hook to trigger any events.
You could do an external check using print_quotas and your own script to carry out everything on a cronjob.

Thanks Lantis, appreciate the info

...will look into print_quotas
