The WiFi Guard Dog project is a complete and embeddable captive portal

solution for wireless community groups or individuals who wish to open a

free hotspot while still preventing abuse of their Internet connection.

More information and the old issue tracker can be found on

[dev.wifidog.org][homepage].

Nowadays, development happens on [GitHub][github].

## WifiDog Gateway ##

WifiDog consists of two parts:

* auth server

* client daemon (the gateway)

This repository contains the client daemon. The client typically runs on

embedded hardware, e.g. the hotspot itself. The client is responsible for

redirecting the user to the auth server where they may authenticate

themselves. Depending on the response of the auth server, the client

lifts the access restrictions for the user.

Client and server speak the [WifiDog Protocol Version 1][protov1],

with Version 2 being a draft which has not been implemented so far.

A detailed description of the login process involving user,

client and server is available as a [flow diagram][flowdia].
