Network Optimization and Network User Access Limitations Using Mikhmon Server at Diskominfo Palembang City

Abstract

Technological advancements have a significant impact on how people live their lives and offer a variety of advantages and conveniences. This trend also applies to computer network technology, whose primary goal is to facilitate information sharing among users. Behind these benefits and conveniences, there are drawbacks as well. For example, it is simple for other users to discover what data is sent over the network and enter the network without authorization. The goal of this project is to create a system that uses an authorization mechanism to restrict network users. This system was created by combining various work systems between the Mikrotik router serving as the gateway router for guests logging into the network at DISKOMINFO Palembang City and the Mikhmon server. The Network Development Life Cycle is employed as a technique (NDLC). The server and router's ability to grant internet access for the used voucher code and the time limit's ability to bar users from the network because the time used has passed allows for the verification of the test results produced by the generated voucher code. This technology can help DISKOMINFO Palembang City with its issues with separating its internal network from user guest networks (guest users) and can build a secure network even though guests access the internet through the company's internal network.
