LAN: authentication and monitor data consumption (programming.dev)

Hi,

I would like to create a LAN where each node need to authenticate before gaining access to the LAN.

and secondly be able to monitor the data consumption of each node and even limit the speed for a node when exceeded.

I'm looking for something FLOSS. For example a single-board computer with a gnu/Linux etc...

Maybe some distribution or solution already exist for this ?

Thanks.

But, it's probably far easier to just run a wire guard VPN server, and require every device to connect to the server to get network access. So any device physically plugging into your network would only be able to route to the wire guard server.
