Barq Radius is an Arabic-first cloud platform for ISPs and WiFi network owners in Palestine and across the Arab world. Connect your MikroTik routers to a managed RADIUS server and run hotspot cards, PPPoE subscribers, speeds and billing from one panel — even when the router has no public IP.

Frequently asked questions
What is Barq Radius?
Barq Radius (برق رايديس) is an Arabic-first cloud platform for internet service providers and WiFi networks that run MikroTik routers. It combines a managed RADIUS server, hotspot voucher cards, PPPoE subscribers, live speed changes, session monitoring, remote Winbox access and billing in one panel.
How much does Barq Radius cost?
From 25 ILS per month in Palestine and from $5 per month in most other countries ($4 in Syria, $6 in Egypt). Six-month plans are 10% off, yearly plans 20% off, and every account starts with a 3-day trial.
Does it work with MikroTik routers behind CGNAT?
Yes. The router opens an SSTP or L2TP tunnel to Barq, so it needs no public IP. The same tunnel carries RADIUS and remote Winbox access. For several networks behind one public IP, SSTP is recommended.
Do hotspot cards get fresh time when a user reconnects?
No. Barq enforces the total connect time of each card in FreeRADIUS, and can also limit validity from first login. Whichever runs out first ends the card.
Which payment methods are supported?
Owners renew from their Barq wallet or by uploading a payment receipt. In Palestine, a network’s online card store accepts Jawwal Pay.
