1. You can simply use m0n0wall / Pfsense, it has all voucher/ user
accounts stuff and a GUI onboard, so you don't even need to use radius
if you think it's overkill for this particular situation.
2. Why setup an extra radius server if you have one?
3. There are many frontends available, dialup admin, daloradius, Yfi
(aka hotcakes), dma softlab radius manager, etc

kind regards,
