Captive portal for suspended accounts

[Steve Saner via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

We are a combination fiber and fixed wireless ISP with around 20k
subscribers.

Management is wanting to develop something along the lines of a captive
portal for suspended accounts such that those customers are forced to a
portal that allows them to make payment and get reactivated.

This is a common thing for a cafe wifi hotspot or something, but has anyone
here attempted to do it at this kind of scale who would be willing to share
their experiences? If someone has successfully done this, I would love to
pick your brain a bit to understand how you accomplished it.

Thanks much.
