Installing on a VPS (Cloud Server)
SAS Radius can run on a cloud server (VPS) instead of your own hardware. The easiest way is a ready-to-use SAS Radius VPS from Snono Systems.
Pre-installed SAS Radius VPS (recommended)
Snono Systems provides VPS servers on DigitalOcean with SAS Radius already installed. They include a VPN for connecting your MikroTik routers to SAS Radius.
- No installation needed: you receive the panel address and login, ready to use.
- The VPN connects your routers securely to the server over the internet, so RADIUS authentication, accounting and disconnect requests work even when the routers are behind NAT.
- Each router connects to the VPN and is added in SAS Radius (NAS → New) with its VPN (tunnel) IP.
To order a pre-installed VPS, contact Snono Systems through client.snono-systems.com.
Your own VPS
If you already have a VPS, Snono Systems can install SAS Radius on it for you.
- Rent a VPS with Ubuntu 18.04 and resources as in System Requirements.
- Send the server IP and SSH access to Snono support.
- After installation, you receive the panel address and login.
Routers connect to a cloud server through a VPN (L2TP, SSTP…), because RADIUS and disconnect requests must not pass through NAT. Add each router in SAS Radius with its tunnel IP.
