Solid library but what about custom messages

Hi, Really like this library. Although, i need to send back bandwidth up and down message when accepting a request, for traffic shaping. Do you have any suggestions where in the code would be best to attack. Thanks

It looks like the radius does not have this kind of functionality. You should add some codes in your vpn server.

I used this library to support some old vpn server. I used the https://github.com/bronze1man/kmg/tree/master/kmgRpc to make IPC communications between servers.

Cool, i'm using it as a radius proxy for a pfsense appliance. Radius has WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Up/Down,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WISPr, attributes which allow you to set a users in/out bandwidth.

@osiloke ,you can send a pull request to add this feature or fork it to do whatever you want. I am not maintaining this package for now.

Ok, will do

@osiloke hi, were you able to make progress? I'm interested in this as well

[osiloke]

@dcu I decided not to use pfsense which required a radius server. I used https://github.com/nodogsplash/nodogsplash with a custom auth server (in golang) which controls nodogsplash using its unix sockets api.

Nodogsplash is light and it allows you to set each clients bandwidth up/down rate via unix sockets, also its way lighter and less complicated than the solution i came up with.

I'll still look into this in the future, but i needed something quick and easy i could maintain.
