Is there a way to allow all external ip connections in FreeRadius?

Hello everyone,

I have a problem setting up FreeRadius server to allow connections from all external IP addresses. My hotspot system is based on CoovaAP and custom made captive portal which communicates with CoovaChilli (deployed on router, not on server). Router is connected to modem via ethernet. Captive portal communicates with radius mysql database to verify the hotspot authorization. Everything works until the modem IP address is changed.

Here is a sample from /etc/raddb/clients.conf:

client x.x.x.x {
  secret = 12345
  shortname = name
}

So, the x.x.x.x ip address somehow needs to be dynamic. And i dont know how to sync modem`s external ip address to radius database to make it work.

The question is: how to make freeradius accept connections from all ip addresses or sync modem`s external ip address into radius database.

Thanks

• Sure, you can do a :

  client 0.0.0.0/0 {
    secret = 12345
    shortname = name
  }
