Sistema o sistema MK-AUTH

What Sistema o sistema MK-AUTH does

MK-AUTH is a Brazilian Debian-based Linux distribution founded in 2008 by Pedro Filho and operated out of Porto Alegre, Brazil. It is delivered as a pre-configured operating system image bundling FreeRADIUS, MySQL, Apache, PHP, Docker, and CloudFlare tunnel components, designed specifically for Internet Service Provider (ISP) management with deep integration to MikroTik router hardware. The platform provides RADIUS authentication, subscriber billing, fiscal document generation, a subscriber self-service portal, and increasingly multi-vendor access network provisioning including GPON OLTs.

The core customer base is small and mid-sized Brazilian ISPs, particularly those running MikroTik access networks. The company monetizes via a one-time perpetual license priced at R$99.90 (~$20 USD), bound to a specific HDD/UUID, supplemented by a third-party add-on marketplace where complementary tools and integrations are sold. Pricing is consistent with a long-tail, self-service, SMB-focused distribution model rather than enterprise sales.

The platform has accumulated an active community (36,588+ forum discussions referenced) and a footprint of integrations spanning Brazilian fiscal compliance (NFCom in 2025), multi-bank payment APIs (Sicoob, Sicredi), cloud hosting partners (RedeCloud, MKSERVER), and a conversational AI assistant (Maria ChatBot via OpenAI). MK-AUTH operates as a bootstrapped, niche specialist in a regulatory-heavy market where local compliance requirements and MikroTik ecosystem familiarity constitute meaningful entry barriers for foreign SaaS competitors.

Revenue model

1. Software License (One-Time Perpetual): One-time perpetual license purchase (R$99.90 as of the source period) for a single hard disk installation. The license is bound to a specific hard disk, is non-transferable, and does not expire. Unlocks client registration beyond 50 clients. License replacement may be requested if the hard disk fails.
2. Add-on Modules (Third-Party): Third-party developers sell add-on modules through the MK-AUTH marketplace (e.g., PAYISP API for banks, NFCom add-ons, notification/chatbot add-ons, ONU ISP provisioning for OLTs, IPv4/IPv6/CGNAT panels). The core system hosts these add-ons at /opt/mk-auth/admin/addons.
3. MK-AUTH Cloud Hosting (Partner): Partners such as RedeCloud, MKSERVER, and others offer cloud-hosted MK-AUTH instances as a managed service, bundling the software with server infrastructure, add-ons, and technical support for a recurring fee.

Core offering

MK-AUTH is a Debian-based Linux distribution that ships as a turnkey RADIUS authentication and ISP management appliance for MikroTik-based internet service providers. It bundles FreeRADIUS, MySQL, Apache, PHP, Docker, and CloudFlare tunnel into a pre-configured system with web-based administration (WebAdmin), a subscriber self-service portal (Central do Assinante), Brazilian payment billing (boleto and PIX via 14 banks and multiple fintech gateways), NFCom fiscal document generation, and Anatel regulatory reporting. The platform is sold as a one-time perpetual license (R$99.90) tied to a hard disk, with optional add-on modules and partner-managed cloud hosting.

Product overview

MK-AUTH is a modular ISP management platform built around a Debian-based Linux distribution (the core system) that bundles RADIUS authentication, MySQL database, Apache web server, Docker containers, SSH connectivity, and CloudFlare tunnel into a pre-configured appliance for MikroTik-based internet service providers. The core product provides web-based administration (WebAdmin) and a subscriber portal (Central do Assinante) for managing authentication (PPPoE, Hotspot, Access-List), billing, invoicing, and client network access. The platform is extended through add-on modules including the Notification Addon (WhatsApp/Telegram chatbot), PAYISP (multi-bank API billing), ONU ISP (GPON OLT provisioning), IPv4/IPv6/CGNAT management panel, AssinaDNS (Anatel-mandated DNS blocking), and MegaOnda Cloud's Mega Contas (financial management). Cloud-hosted deployments are available through MK-AUTH Cloud by RedeCloud and MKSERVER Cloud, while third-party services like Maria ChatBot (AI ChatGPT WhatsApp support), Hotspot Lucrativo (hotspot monetization), and Hotsite Templates (ISP website builder) are offered by independent developers through the MK-AUTH services marketplace.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• FreeRADIUS: Open-source RADIUS server that forms the technical core of MK-AUTH. While not a packaged commercial product, it represents the base layer any competitor (or ISP itself) could build on, anchoring the price ceiling MK-AUTH can charge.
• Vindi: Brazilian recurring billing and payment platform. While not an ISP suite, it competes for the billing portion of MK-AUTH's offering and could be adopted by ISPs that prefer best-of-breed billing over an integrated suite.

Direct peers

• Versatium: Brazilian telecom management suite used by ISPs for billing, RADIUS, and subscriber administration, competing with MK-AUTH for the same small/mid ISP customer base in Brazil.
• Datacom (Ektech/Bluesoft ISP): Brazilian ISP management software suite that bundles RADIUS, billing, and subscriber portal for small and mid-sized providers, competing head-to-head with MK-AUTH in the same regional segment.
• SGP (Sistema de Gestão de Provedores): Brazilian ISP operations and billing platform serving small and mid-sized providers, with comparable features around subscriber management, billing, and MikroTik integration — directly competitive with MK-AUTH in the same regional niche.
• ConectProvedor: Brazilian ISP management and billing software offering RADIUS, subscriber portal, and fiscal features for small ISPs — directly comparable to MK-AUTH's integrated RADIUS + billing + portal model.
• IXC Soft: Leading Brazilian ISP management platform offering integrated RADIUS, billing, fiscal, and subscriber portal capabilities for small and mid-sized ISPs — the closest direct competitor to MK-AUTH in the same vertical and customer segment.

Broad incumbents

• Ubiquiti UniFi Network: Broader network management platform with built-in RADIUS, hotspot, and billing-adjacent capabilities. While not a direct MikroTik replacement, Ubiquiti offers an alternative ecosystem that competes for the same small ISP/WISP budget.
• MikroTik RouterOS: The underlying router operating system that MK-AUTH is built to manage. MikroTik offers its own RADIUS and hotspot functionality as part of RouterOS, representing a horizontal incumbent that could subsume parts of MK-AUTH's value proposition.

Regional players

• Cofre (formerly RedeNet): Brazilian ISP management and network operations platform with RADIUS, billing, and support tools, addressing a similar Brazilian ISP customer base with overlapping feature scope to MK-AUTH.
