o.k.
i'm trying to lock down an access point (hostap) and give people only the
ability to get through it to the web but not to each other.
this is a coffee shop type setup where users don't know each other and
frequently leave open shares on their windows clients. they don't know it,
but it is very insecure.
basically i want to deny any local traffic amongst clients.
netfilter list informed me that hostap was like a "hub" and the firewall
cannot prevent this activity. not positive on that but i thought i would
try here to ask.
is there a way to not allow this using hostap? any settings at compile
time to only allow traffic from client to AP? but not client to client
through ap?
if i can do this is iptables, i would rather do that, so let me know if
anybody has done that.
thx,
doug
