You need to set up what is called a Proxy Server. That is, all users must connect THROUGH your system. You use session cookies or some similar mechanism to control their access. If they don't present the right cookie, direct them to the login page, which sends them a suitable cookie if their credentials are good. If they already have the cookie, then pass the request on to the Wild Wild Web. Note that your proxy server must sit (logically, anyway) between your WiFi access point (router?) and the internet. Our good friend Google will tell you all you need to know (and then some!) about setting up a proxy server.
