Redirect User On Login?

Post by gavstah » Tue Jun 17, 2014 4:39 pm

Is it possible to temporarily redirect users on login to a web page?

What I'd like to do is to redirect users to a web page for 30 seconds, and then after that allow them access to the wider web.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

It is called Hotspot.
I suppose you have nothing to do with SoftEther VPN Server, but you could implement it on your upstream router.

What you are looking for is called a "captive portal". This is possible, but distinct from SoftEther, or any VPN in particular. You can accomplish it using a forward proxy like squidproxy:

Read more by googling "squidproxy captive portal"

Sometimes squidproxy is obviously very critical for the VPN users as they think they are being scanned for the traffic details. Another way to rule your users is firewall rules. In that case (assuming you are on *NIX) you may create an additional table and put all new users for initial check and redirect.
