+1

We had at least seven instances running where I worked a few years ago,
supporting many thousands of logins of various types. It just ran and
ran and ran - solid as a rock. And extremely extensible, tweakable and
customisable.

+1 again, but make sure you get the latest stable version in particular
some older versions in distros out there may not properly support IPv6.

And before you ask for support on the FreeRADIUS mailing list, make sure
you have read the doco thoroughly, turned on debugging, and made a
serious effort to fix stuff yourself. The maintainers have a very low
tolerance for people who do otherwise. In particular, get the plain
vanilla stuff working properly BEFORE you make changes to default
settings. Good advice for anything, really :-)

Regards, K.
