Re: Guest Wifi Policy?

We have a captive portal with a user agreement that they have to agree to
before getting access to the internets.  Last year we had a law office
contact us about someone downloading a bittorrent for a popular movie at the
time and our verbiage on the captive portal seemed good enough for them.

 Gentlemen,



I am tasked with providing a Guest Wi-Fi solution for one of my clients.
The client already has an enterprise WLAN which is secured with radius and
all that good stuff. Plan for the Guest Wi-Fi is to simply broadcast a
second SSID on a separate VLAN taking them straight out to an onsite DSL
circuit. Nothing fancy, no content filtering intended or desired by the
client. Just open internet obviously secured and separated from their
private network. I do intend to put up a captive portal or some sort of page
which forces all users accessing the guest network to ‘agree’ with the
internet usage policy.



So my question here is does anyone know what I have to do to ensure that my
client is not liable for anything that happens on this guest network, i.e.
someone gets hacked, or some pervert is browsing from their IP and the FBI
get’s involved etc... My assumption is that you need to have a proper
captive portal with proper verbiage on your ‘user agreement’ and I’m also
assuming you need to log ‘clicks’ on the page when users ‘agree’ to your
usage policy.



Any experience or thoughts on this one?



Thanks,

Tim
