Re: Guest Wifi Policy?

We do the same thing.  One thing I do here also is run my guest Wi-Fi through the same content filter my corporate 
users use with a slightly more relaxed rules set.  This becomes a great deterrent for my internal users  bringing in 
their personal devices and downloading movies etc. while on my network (Plus if they try, it becomes easy to catch 
them, which has happened before).

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
