One AAA core, every vendor

Retire the FreeRADIUS science project
A self-hosted FreeRADIUS billing system means a Linux box somebody has to patch, a database somebody has to back up, and 2am pages when authentication dies. XenFi's cloud RADIUS billing system removes the box: your routers point their AAA at XenFi, and authentication, accounting and plan enforcement run as a managed service.
Because the RADIUS core and the billing are one product, there is no glue code between them. A paid plan becomes an authenticated session with the right speed and cap; an expired plan disconnects on its own; and every accounting record lands in the same ledger as the payment that started it. MikroTik, Cisco, Huawei, Cambium and any other RADIUS-compliant router connect the same way.
Managed AAA
Authentication, authorization and accounting as a service, with no server of your own.
Vendor neutral
Standard RADIUS means Cisco, Huawei, Cambium and D-Link connect beside your MikroTiks.
PPPoE billing
Subscribers provisioned with speeds, caps and expiry straight from their plan.
Hotspot authentication
The same core authenticates captive portal sessions and enforces their limits.
Billing-grade accounting
Session records tie to payments and plans, so usage and revenue reconcile themselves.
High-availability cloud
The core is monitored and maintained for you; your job ends at pointing the router.
Live in an afternoon
01
Point your NAS at XenFi
Set the RADIUS server and secret on your router or BNG; standard protocol, no agent.
02
Map plans to profiles
Speeds, caps and session rules defined once, enforced identically on every vendor.
03
Bill through the same core
Mobile money and other payments create sessions automatically; expiry disconnects them.
Straight answers
- Is XenFi a replacement for FreeRADIUS?
- For ISP billing, yes. XenFi provides the AAA core as a managed cloud service and pairs it directly with plans, payments and reporting, so there is no separate RADIUS server to run.
- Which routers can use the cloud RADIUS core?
- Any RADIUS-compliant device: MikroTik, Cisco, Huawei, Cambium, D-Link and more. MikroTik, Ruijie, Omada and UniFi also get deeper first-class drivers.
- Does it handle both PPPoE and hotspot authentication?
- Yes. PPPoE subscribers and captive portal sessions authenticate against the same core, each enforced by their own plan rules.
- What about accounting and usage records?
- RADIUS accounting flows into the same ledger as payments, so sessions, data usage and revenue stay reconciled without exports.
