You could have that option with your firewall depending on what you have even. And one more thing: when your guests use VPN's, than you don't want to prevent them to use them! A guest's VPN connection moves the problem you would have to someone else. So why get in the way, when it actually solves your problem? Arrow Computer Services is an IT service provider. For an establishment like his, it is pretty much set and forget.
Not difficult to setup either and very cheap in my opinion - the subscription I mean. It supports blocking categories such as peer to peer, illegal, abuse etc. This would be much simpler than trying to setup Linux servers, which are more suited for people who work in IT.
I don't know if Draytek router and Cyren Web filtering subscriptions are available where you are, but they are in the UK. I would also go with pfsense on a Pii maybe.
Most cost effective and lots of ways to takkle this problem. First of all i would activate Traffic shapping to ensure noone is sucking all the bandwidth with his traffic.. Seems to make sense for a guest house. This will make downloading large files painful as u have to DL reaaaaally long.
You also have a bigger chance for catching suspect while downloading something and take actions against him like MAC adress block. I'm not going to be much help, but one thing I thought of when blocking torrent type traffic is that they might encrypt the traffic with VPN, in which case the ISP probably won't even know, but to deter it, the solution would be to block any traffic that your solution can't deep inspect.
But that probably rules out legit VPN usage like work travel that is a real use case in hotels and guests might find their work VPNs not working on the hotel internet. You can allow traffic, but identify who did what. That's a bigger chain thing to do. Only give it out to guests and change it weekly or per guest if possible. The offender may be someone who lives near your hotel and are using your wifi from the parking lot, or it is an employee. Unless this is a family friendly hotel, I wouldn't advise implementing Web filtering.
There's no need for it. The only issue that needs to be addressed here, is the bittorrent traffic that triggered the ISP. PFSense can block it. The odd thing about these, is that the WiFi is rarely used, but when it's used, it's for entertainment, so NetFlix, Prime, etc.
I'm not a fan of traffic shaping, because these streaming services get impacted very easily; they adapt to bandwidth limitations by automatically reducing the bitrate, and consequently downgrading the picture quality, and in the end, you get people complaining that the WiFi is terrible, even though the ISP provided bandwidth isn't used anywhere near its capacity. Still I think, that this is more of a legal problem: the ISP shouldn't handle a hotel as it would handle a domestic user account.
The basic is, that a hotel can not be made responsible for the actions of it's guests. And the ISP is not the Law enforcement. If possible, I would check if there is another ISP available, as such behavior is not really acceptable for any business with public internet access! Thanks, J. Dwayne Mar 14, at UTC.

Giving their vm a try next week. SafeSquid seems to have dropped their VMware Ubuntu virtual appliance. Contra Untangle: - No caching Proxy - Works in transparent mode; it is not possible to use it as a Proxy on a certain port.
Reverse Proxy features. Multiple ICAP servers compliance. Many statistics. Cyberoam 1, Followers Follow. The Rules documentation describes how rules work and how they are configured.
Flagging a session marks it in the logs for reviewing in the event logs or reports, but has no direct effect on the network traffic. This applies to incoming connections from the Internet to open services on your network. This applies to outgoing connections to the Internet from hosts on your network.
Additionally a session can be flagged. If Flag is checked the event is flagged for easier viewing in the event log. Flag is always enabled if the action is Block. Custom block page URL: Set an external location where to redirect users when they are denied access to a web site by Threat Prevention.
This is useful if you want to use your own server to process the denial in a different way than the built-in denial options.
