Yes, I know. I've seen that stated (and stated it myself) several times on
this list. The project I mentioned isn't a proxy.

This project controlls access using Linux's built in firewall (I believe by
MAC address). Unauthorized clients are redirected to a web page where an
AUP can be clicked through to gain authorization.
This page is an excellent place to put the paid advertisements the OP wanted
to force users to view before web surfing. That is why I suggested it.
