Hi,

I'd love to help you, but I don't really understand your post.
The voucher stuff inside monowall is simply to create a set of
login/password combinations which are stored as local captive portal

It's just an automated process to avoid manual creation of many
captive portal user accounts.

Vouchers are active after creation as far as I remember (i don't use
local CP users, only radius)
Access will always be closed as long as there isn't a correct
login/passw is given in the portal page.
Once this is done, access is open.

If you want to use https for your login page and want to look a little
pro to your customers, you will have to buy ssl certificates from an
official issuer
Keep in mind that also ocsp can give you a
