Title: Captive Portal Cloud Auth Warning on Ruijie Cloud Pro
Hi Ruijie/Reyee Support,
I am configuring Captive Portal using [strong]Ruijie Cloud Pro[/strong] for a public/free WiFi project.
I only plan to use [strong]Cloud Auth[/strong] because this deployment is for [strong]97 separate schools[/strong], and I do not plan to purchase additional gateways or authentication devices per site.
Current setup:

Policy Mode: Cloud Auth
Authentication Device: AP
SSID: Free WiFi
Deployment: 97 separate school sites

I received this warning:
“Using public cloud authentication may lead to poor authentication experience due to ISP egress bandwidth limits.”

Hi sir,
May I ask how many vouchers you have? And if you just want use different place use same vouchers, I think you can use the cloud portal share function, which is correctly configured.

Hi sir,
Thank you for the suggestion.
Currently we have 97 separate school deployments with only 2 Ruijie APs per school. We are using AP-based Cloud Auth only since we do not have Ruijie gateways/NBRs, and the network switches are TP-Link.
We are planning to use the same captive portal across multiple sites through Shared Portals.
Our concern is whether Cloud Auth performance and authentication stability will still be okay during simultaneous student logins across the schools, especially during peak hours.
Thank you.

Hi sir,
If you just use a little user here, I think not affect, but If the number of terminals exceeds the device's maximum capacity, it will definitely have an impact.
