Re: [lime-users] Current options of a captive portal for LiMe

also the problems people will face when using the connection for apps different than a browser.

I like a solution Pau mentioned on that thread: capturing only port 80 traffic and letting everything else flow. He mentioned a modified version of tinyproxy to do that. However I see (at least in the current Nodogsplash version) it seems possible to do it just by editing the configuration file.

In the Nodogsplash configuration file I see things like: FirewallRule allow tcp port 53 Do you know what I should write in order to "Allow everything but port 80"?

In the meantime... here is the tutorial for the nodogsplash hack. Please test and let us now any problems, typos, etc. http://wiki.coolab.org/index.php?title=How_to_create_a_captive_portal Have fun!
