Hey bruno, it works!! Thank you. Just tried with one Internet exit.
Thanks for the good documentation.
I had been waiting long for this, but now I am experiencing and
understanding much better many of the things everyone was telling me in
a Github issue I opened some time ago [0].
Https requests give an error instead of the splash page, and there is
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"?

Agreed! Let's hope Nico will find the time to
guide us through this
process.
In the meantime... here is the tutorial for the nodogsplash hack.
Please test and let us now any problems, typos, etc.

Have fun!

If we write a brief description of the skills and work needed to
create
Pitbull, maybe we can
attract more developers. And even if we
don't attract more
people to participate, we will have a
clearer understanding of the work. Who can
improve this first
draft?:
*The LibreMesh community will soon start working on a captive
portal software
to enable community
functions such as local bulletin boards and
network access
control. We call on people with Lua
programming experience to look at our GitHub repo
at
https://GitHub.com/libremesh/pitbull
<https://GitHub.com/libremesh/pitbull> and post
questions and comments there. For more read
communication, visit
our matrix chat room at -insert
address here-. We also call on people interested
in testing the
captive portal software as we
develop it.*
Improving this call to action and distributing it among our
networks at least
opens the chance of
other people joining the effort... Nothing to
lose.
(I'm willing to learn more programming, but I don't I can
contribute
much in that task. Testing I
think I can do.)
I think these creations, such as the captive portal, add a lot
of value to our
networks and make
them more attractive and more viable as real
alternatives to
non-community networks, offering tools
and social dynamics that non-community networks
cannot offer.
> I'll work on an English documentation of the hack this weekend
and
send
it
to the list, it would be great if you could test.
Great! Our community in Caimito has wanted a captive portal
since we started
over a year ago. I
look forward to testing (and upgrading or nodes
to libremesh 17).
