Canada Paywall

Hotspot Gateway

Turn a Windows PC and a cheap access point into paid guest Wi-Fi. You already have internet. Guests pay you.

1 Guests at a campground or cafe want Wi-Fi. You already have internet (Starlink or similar).

2 Run the installer. It sets up forwarding, the firewall, and NAT on this PC.

3 Unpaid devices see a pay page. They buy time. Your PC lets them on.

4 You keep the guest payments. This software is a one-time $199.99 CAD license.

How it works

Your PC is the brain — it decides who has paid and shares your internet.
The access point is the radio — guests join its Wi-Fi. No extra AP? The installer can start guest Wi-Fi on this PC.
Canada Paywall is checkout — guests pay on our site; your PC then lets them on.

The installer sets up

One click, one UAC prompt — works on any Windows 10 or 11 PC.
IP forwarding — this PC routes guest traffic onto your Starlink (or other) uplink.
Windows Firewall — portal, DHCP, DNS, and guest-LAN rules, including forwarded traffic.
NAT — WinNAT when Windows has it; otherwise Internet Connection Sharing. The gateway owns DHCP so phones get a real lease.
Windows service — starts on boot, restarts if it crashes. Admin stays on this PC only: http://127.0.0.1:8055/.
