Stop PPPoE login sharing with device limits and router locks

Shared PPPoE logins quietly cost ISPs revenue. How devices per PPPoE, locking customers to a router or station, and RADIUS checks make every connection paid.

One PPPoE username used in several homes means one payment for several customers. It is common, and it is hard to see without the right tools.

Limit devices per account

Set how many devices can log in with one PPPoE account, on the plan or per customer. Most homes need one or two; when the limit is reached, extra logins are refused.

Control where a login works

Lock a customer to one router or to their station, so their login only works where they are installed.

See it happen

For any customer you can see the router, IP, MAC address and session they connect with, and how many of their devices are online.

Keep your lists clean

Review dormant and suspended customers regularly, and close accounts that are no longer used so old logins cannot be reused.
