MiKroTik - Session Timeout


While there's a default Session Length on our side of 24 hours there's no direct control of the Session Timeout on the PurplePortal side (as you might with a Firmware installation).  This accept of Session control is managed from the RouterOS interface. I

To review this:
Open your Winbox client (to interact with the RouterOS set up) and click 
IP -> Hotspot (to bring up the Hotspot parameters
On the Server Tab, Double-Click the Hotspot Server (the one you've set for Purple WiFi) to bring up the review the
Hotspot Server settings:

This far Squid developers have many experiments and improvement to build the proxy server that more stable in high performance. Until the time this article was written,  Squid have released version 3.5.4 , squid 4 is still experimental.  Different with  squid 2.7 , squid 3.5.x is need to be compiled to use this version. This would give more flexibility in the application and development of squid to build proxy server. In order to implement squid 3.5.x in Windows operating system directly, it should be compiled by the application before it can be used.  Of course If you are a programmer which are used to create software and applications, it would be for you. But for most people, it would be hard to compile the source squid 3.5.x and implement it directly on windows. Some developers have been made ea...
