WHMCS - Freeradius VS Custom solution for VPN Client your help needed.
Hello,
I am using WHMCS and their Freeradius plugin, considering to use Freeradius.
I am trying to assess the pro and cons of Freeradius Vs Custom solution.
- Huge overhead
- Complex and not well coded: difficult to improve.
- In case of bug, very hard to fix, no maintenability.
- Impossible or complex and expensive to add functionality or evolve the code.
- Centralized authentification system, will add between 500ms to 5s lag for the authentification (client connection).
- If the central server is down, no client can connect to any server.
Do you think it is a good idea to go the custom way when using WHMCS to go for the Freeradius plugin or go the custom developpement way ? Trying to assess the pro and cons.
Thx

I would start afresh.
Having had chance to look over both the popular Safesrv module and the WHMCS provided module, both are somewhat dire (even more so the WHMCS provided module) - although I believe Safesrv module is now unobtainable?
I cannot imagine this would take much effort to produce, it all depends how sophisticated you want it and what your overall goal is.
Thx, i sent you a PM Jacob.
