use wingate proxy for wireless guest access

Postby oig01 » Oct 17 07 5:28 pm

I have a Cisco wireless access point and I need to setup a guest access. Is it possible to use the wingate proxy to keep guest traffic off the domain network and route guest access directly out to the internet. Within the proxy there should also be domain member access for non guest.

thank you

WinGate doesn't need to check the domain for guest access, so guest computers do not need to join the domain. They can connect straight through WinGate as long as WinGates policies are not requiring authentication.

So WINGATE will provide the security I need so guest wont access my domain folders etc.

How would I link any guest laptops to authenticate using the wingate proxy? Would I set it in the wireless access point?

It sure can. You will want to put another network adaptor in the WinGate computer to serve the wireless network. This will keep your wireless network physically seperate from your main network, while still allowing you to serve internet to both networks from WinGate.

There is an option in WinGate's ENS that you can disable to stop seperate networks being able to reach each other by routing through WinGate. If you are using WinGate VPN, you won't be able to disable this option.
- Gatekeeper -> System tab -> Extended Networking
- Uncheck "support for multiple subnetworks (router)"
