Hello !

I'm desperatly trying to log traffic with Wifidog on 24rc3.

I'd like to use the syslogd but It seems that I cannot obtain other informations that the local traffic.
(It works when I disable wifidog)
May be am I wrong in some settings...

Second idea : using tinyproxy.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to put it on a 24rcx and how to do it?

Many thanks.

what kind of traffic u want log? Do u want graph the traffic in/out wan/wifi port? or only want make a tcpdump?

[cedriclille]

In fact, as a Hotspot I have to log to text all wireless connected clients traffic.
(French laws...)

A tcp dump would be great.


That's why I'm looking for a way to use the syslog daemon with my captive portal (Wifidog).

When I use the dd-wrt syslog dameon WITHOUT Wifidog Dameon Disabeld = the log is correct
When I use the dd-wrt syslog daemon WITH Wifidog Daemon Enabled = there's nothing in the log...

As I think there's something to deal with iptables and I'm not familiar with it, your help would be great.

Thanks for your help !

So, do u need a sniffer?
Some months ago, i made a custom firmware taking the dd-wrt_vpn version and including tcpdump package, i think was the first version of v24 beta. I tried to did that with the RCs version but the firmware kit to package/unpack the firmware files doesnt work anymore and i wasnt enable to include again the tcpdump package.

Checking today the firmware_tools i noticed there is a new version of this tools, maybe in this version it work again with the RCs releases.

take a look on google and search for Firmware Modification Kit

Hi !

Thanks for your reply.
The dd-wrt's syslog Daemon works great : I can log all the traffic.

But as soon as I enable the Wifidog's captive portal, there's no more outpout log.

I think there's something to deal with iptables that are modified when Wifidog is enabled, and I don't know what to do to make it work...

It's much easier to deal with the syslog Dameon which is embedded in the firmware !

In Italy I have same necessity like CedricLille added at a mandatory strong user id, e-mail isn't approved, I'm working around.

But I'm a kiddye about Linux, how you configure Linux to receive syslogd data from AP, and where datas are written.

Please can help me.

Thanks Carlo M.
