Maximum security with RADIUS server Wi-Fi

Now the wireless net is ubiquitous, so network security without being is extremely important. Exposing our daily life online, make payments, conversing in private; Therefore it is absolutely essential that our wifi network can be secured as well.

Wireless network security is very poor.

Wi-Fi Network Security is a big problem, that hardware manufacturers and experts that establish standards, do not want to recognize or admit his teeth.

The truth about Wi-Fi network security.

The truth is this: Any kid with minimum knowledge and relatively inexpensive hardware can break any WiFi networkWhatever it is WEP, WPA or WPA2. I do not mean just WPS bug.

What is the solution for better security Wi-Fi?

Fortunately, over WPA2 home, we have a security level which is called WPA Enterprise. This mode authentication scheme introduced in a server (a component of the new network) to keep track of users who connect to wifi. This is called RADIUS server and can be installed very easily.

What is a RADIUS server?

Radius server is an application that can run on Windows or Linux, which keeps track of log data and assist in the authentication process router. In this equation, the Radius server offers other advantages.

Advantages wifi with Radius server (WPA Enterprise).

1. Individual user authentication
2. Highly advanced encryption with certificates
3. Remove individual for some users
4. Personal security improvement over WPA2

Disadvantages wifi with Radius server (WPA Enterprise).

1. An extra network device (solving the Raspberry PI)
2. Configuration daunting for beginners (the tutorial is simple)

  • congratulations for tutorial really useful, but I have a question it is possible to say a stupid thing but still I ask if you use a mini pc through the usb of the router Asus RT-AC66U this I have it could it work or should it be required by cable?
    I don't keep a PC running 24/24, that's why I ask if it would work or not ......

  • Thank Cristi,
    But is it possible to have a tutorial with radius server on Raspberry PI but also a tutorial with vpn server?
    A tutorial can build a mini laptop with Raspberry PI?

  • Hello
    I subscribe I would be very interested in a tutorial for radius on raspberry pi. I tried to do something like this some time ago but without success. What should be mentioned in my opinion is that not all routers support radius server connection. I say this because I've heard of some people trying this on rtc routers ...

  • Well, let's get the job done! ... We're waiting for the installation on the Raspberry Pi. I think this is the future of network security.
