ApFree WiFiDog is a high performance captive portal solution for HTTP(s), which mainly used in Openwrt platform.
In fact, the title should be why we choose apfree-wifidog, the reason was the following:
Stable
apfree-wifidog was widely used in tens of thousands openwrt device, which has run in business scene. In order to improve its stable, we rewrite all iptables rule by api instead of fork call, which will easily cause deadlock in multithread-fork running environment. we also re-write the code and replace libhttpd (which unmaitained for years) with libevent2
Performance
cause libevent2 support epoll, apfree-wifidog has better performance than original wifidog, there are some benchmark data in benchmark directory to prove it
HTTPs redirect
apfree-wifidog support https redirect, in current internet environment, captive portal solution without supporting https redirect will become unsuitable gradually
More features
apfree-wifidog support mac temporary-pass, ip,domain,pan-domain,white-mac,black-mac rule and etc. all these rules can be applied without restarting wifidog
MQTT support
by enable mqtt support, u can remotely deliver such as trusted ip, domian and pan-domain rules to apfree wifidog
Compitable with wifidog protocol
u don't need to modify your wifidog authentication server to adapt apfree-wifidog; if u have pression on server-side, apfree wifidog's improved protocol can greatly relieve it, which disabled by default
apfree-wifidog has been accepted by OpenWrt packages' master and 19.07 branch, which can be found in net directory.
Attention! when apfree-wifidog redirect https request, u will receive certificate file is illegal warning, no need to panic, it's normal response
apfree wifidog's official auth server is wwas, which support wfc pay and weixin auth-mode and more auth-way will be support.
