Hotspots

A hotspot is a network node that provides internet connectivity using a Wi-Fi device such as a wireless router. Hotspots are typically used to provide guest access in public areas. When you add an interface to a hotspot, the associated access points act as hotspots. Hotspots support a full suite of protection features and authentication methods.

When you add a hotspot, the firewall creates a corresponding firewall rule. Using this rule, you can enforce policies and scan traffic.

You can redirect users to a captive portal or sign-in page where users must accept terms of usage or authenticate themselves using a generated password or voucher. After sign-in, you can redirect users to a specific URL, for example, your company page.
