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.
Yes, it is annoying. But most of our users have android, which is smart
enough to detect the portal and redirect users to the login page. Even
firefox on desktops will also detect that.
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.
There are a few issues there- first, most of the web traffic is now on port
https (443). So someone who just uses facebook (mercy!) would never end up
in the portal.
Besides, there are apps out there built to circunvent portals by creating
VPN connections on other ports. So I don't think this is the best solution.
I don't know if there is one.
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"?
I don't know the correct syntax, but I think the way to do that something
like
FirewallRule block tcp all ports
FirewallRule allow tcp port 80
As the rules are followed in the order of the file.
Let us know how it works for you!
Best
Bruno
In the meantime... here is the tutorial for the
nodogsplash hack.
Please test and let us now any problems, typos, etc.

Have fun!

Absolutely agree. I am not developer but could be
a tester :-)

Pitbull is not useful yet according to Nico Pace.
We started to
collaborate
to develop to get it finished but it doesn't seem like it will happen
in
less than 6 months or so.
If we write a brief description of the skills and work needed to create 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 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.
started over
a year ago. I
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 look forward to testing (and upgrading or nodes
to libremesh 17).

Hello,
Here we are considering again the captive portal thing. It would be
a
welcome page with some community news, not real authentication. I
guess
we would like a system where MAC addresses of users who just clicked
an
"Ok" button of the splash page would be validated for a month. So
they
would have to go through this News page once a month.
I've seen Nodogsplash seems to be maintained again, so I can try to
make
it work for LiMe. But first I wanted to ask about Pitbull, as I
think
that was something similar but specially made for LiMe.
What is the status of Pitbull?
Would it work for the described need?
Thank you!
