I've got very little experience with nameservers and really need some guidance on this project - all help is appreciated!
I've started a project where I'm going to set up a wireless network similar to what we are used to from hotels and airports where you connect to the internet and then have to open a browser to accept the terms and conditions before you get connected to the Internet.
In my project, I want to redirect all of the user's traffic to a specific local website, say "mycompanywifi.com", until they've clicked a "go online"-button. However, the page that users are redirected to must be usable. In example: mycompanywifi.com/news should not be redirected to mycompanywifi.com, if that makes any sense.
What I know:
- Linux
- set up nameserver with bind9 (done once some time ago)
- set up webservers (LAMP)
- PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript
What I have:
- A Raspberry PI
- A router with wich I can change DNS servers
My idea:
My initial idea was to set up a nameserver with bind9 on the Raspberry to which all the Internet traffic should be redirected to. I think I would be able to do that, but the problem is that I don't know how, or if it's even possible, to stop redirecting after the button click. Any ideas?
