This seems like it would be much easier as a feature on your router/access point.
Their description suggests that it's just using a blacklist of MAC addresses so it would be pretty easy to add to something like OpenWRT or a captive portal.
- icebraining 12y agoFor that, you'd need to replace your current router(s)/AP(s), which is configured by the kid down the block which is now at university and can't help you configure the new one, or by the ISP that blocks your access, or by the franchise IT people who administer it centrally, etc. This is the kind of stuff that allows "muggles" to do stuff without having to be bothered calling an IT person. I'm not a fan (I can foresee many wasted hours of IT professionals trying to debug a network that's "working funny" because the owner plugged one of these without telling anyone), but I can see it being popular among small business owners.
