Frequently asked questions

Is Nukta a better ISP billing system than Freeispradius?

Both are solid choices for Kenyan ISPs, but they serve different stages. Freeispradius is a well-established platform with a large user base. Nukta is built for ISPs that want globally distributed infrastructure, instant M-Pesa sync, DDoS protection, and a platform that scales without adding server maintenance or technical overhead.

Can Nukta replace Freeispradius for a growing ISP?

Yes. Nukta handles everything Freeispradius covers - PPPoE, Hotspot, Static IP, M-Pesa billing, customer management, and router monitoring - while adding globally distributed infrastructure, anti-tunneling enforcement, and real-time payment reconnections. The migration is zero-downtime so no customers get dropped.

What makes Nukta easier to manage as an ISP business?

Nukta is fully managed - no server maintenance, no manual updates, and no configuration drift. Payments, disconnections, and router state sync happen in real time. Your team logs into one dashboard and everything is already in the right place.

How does Nukta handle customer payments and disconnections?

When a customer pays via M-Pesa, Nukta processes the callback instantly and reconnects their PPPoE or Hotspot session in under a second. Disconnections trigger automatically on expiry. The entire payment-to-connection cycle runs without any manual steps from your team.

Why are ISPs switching from Freeispradius to Nukta?

ISPs move to Nukta when they need stronger infrastructure resilience - particularly CGNAT bypass, DDoS protection, and anti-tunneling enforcement - or when they want payments and router state changes to reflect instantly without polling or manual syncing. Nukta is also a better fit for teams managing multiple routers across different locations.

Why choose Nukta for a starting ISP?

Nukta's Free tier gives new ISPs everything they need to launch - M-Pesa billing, captive portals, MikroTik sync, and customer management - at no cost for networks earning under Ksh 2,000 per month. When you grow, pricing scales transparently with your revenue so there are no surprise charges.

What payment methods does Nukta Billing support in Kenya?

In Kenya, Nukta supports M-Pesa (STK Push, Paybill, Till), Airtel Money, Card payments (Visa/Mastercard), Bank Transfer, Paystack — with automated payment confirmations and sub-second service reconnections so your customers are back online the moment their payment clears.
