How to Force a Public Wi-Fi Network Login Page to Open?
-
@domubpkm just tried the google dot com one and it worked really quick with hotel wifi. Just opened a new tab in morph typed google dot com and login appears. Could not get it to work with others.

@Lakotaubp Hello.
It's nice that it works for you and thanks for your feedback.
If I understood correctly, it works on the 2nd tab and not on the 1st ? I will give it a try on my next trip.
According to my infos, I was left with the idea that this could not work because UT has never had captive portal support to sign in to a public wifi. But maybe connection exceptions exist. -
@domubpkm I always have tabs left open that I like to keep so needed to open a new tab that's all. Should work straight away.

@domubpkm Jfi just tried on original PP and it worked straight away from first opening of morph.

@domubpkm @Lakotaubp I always use example.com and it always redirected me, if there was a login over an internal site required.
Maybe a script that checks, if a login is needed, could also use example.com. -
@johndoe IIRC recent Network Manager does this automatically, hence why it works on desktop and upon connecting to such a network shows the login page. I am not sure if the necessary update was made though or in what state that effort ended. Maybe the Network Manager even got updated but it would probably require more to actually have it open a web browser with the correct url.

@johndoe example.com doesn't work for me with SNCF french trains..

@domubpkm Ok, that is unfortunate.

@domubpkm
Seems weird.
Another way to get it is to check the IP address assigned to your device.
The landing page is often on the same network and you can guess it.Most of the time indeed, the network should detect a network activity and redirect you to their captive portal.
Warning, IMHO this should only works if you do not force the use of specific DNS server.
You should also deactivate VPN while registering to the new network. -
