Hi, I have a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian, and I have configured it as a
wifi
hotspot using Hostapd and dhcp server. Mobile clients connect to the wifi network and browse internet. I need to keep the track of each user, how much internet data it uses, and also need to limit the user to particular data limit (e.g:1 GB). I need to track data plan, as well how much data used or left for particular user.
Which tool or configuration will allow me to achieve this scenario?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Rahul,
These systems will require a linux server/router box and little bit of setup( Sadly, i doubt the Pi has the grunt to run them.), but you can satisfy all your requirements and more. Again, it might be worth it if you are looking at doing this on an organized basis, but may be too much effort for just personal use.
Squid will work without any issue on ARM platform, so RPi. Only you may need to compile it from source. Since the processing capacity of RPi is very low, you may not be able to handle much users/data.
