About:
FreeRADIUS is a high-performance RADIUS server, the de facto open-source standard for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). It supports a vast array of authentication methods and backends, including SQL, LDAP, and Active Directory, making it highly flexible for complex network environments.
Key Features:
  • High performance and scalability for large-scale deployments
  • Extensive protocol support including RADIUS, Diameter, and DHCP
  • Flexible authentication backends (SQL, LDAP, Active Directory, PAM)
  • Modular architecture with dynamic extensibility
Use Cases:
  • Centralized Wi-Fi authentication for enterprise networks
  • VPN access control and user accounting
  • ISP subscriber management and policy enforcement
Alternatives:
  • daloRADIUS – Web-based management frontend for FreeRADIUS, not a server itself.
  • Windows NPS – Microsoft's proprietary RADIUS server, limited to Windows environments.
