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.

  1. Rent a VPS with Ubuntu 18.04 and resources as in System Requirements.
  2. Send the server IP and SSH access to Snono support.
  3. 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.
