New Around Here
I'm looking to implement a network with 3 different zones: Unrestricted Internet, Restricted Internet with blacklisting and a guest network that is throttled, that is broadcasted by several APs.

Currently I'm thinking something like this:
  • Separate the main router into 3 internal VLANs
  • Unrestricted VLAN will just be the default LAN with Internet access
  • Restricted VLAN will have all Internet traffic blocked, use a SquidGuard box will be installed to route and filter traffic as a transparent proxy to the unrestricted VLAN
  • Enable QoS on the Guest VLAN
  • Trunk all VLANs to all access points and set up VAPs, bridging 3 SSIDs accordingly to each VLAN
  • Block all traffic in between VLANs

Thinking if I can either do this with a few DD-WRT routers or step up to an UniFi USG and some UAPs, in addition to an old PC for the SquidGuard box.

Am I missing anything here?
