    If you connect to the network and open firefox, it will display a toast to open the corresponding captive portals page. You can then login through that. Given that your VPN isn’t blocking unencrypted connections etc.

    Extrapolation of partial knowledge warning

    I assume the network advertises a captive portals url and identifies you based on your MAC address.

    The config is server-side (router).

      I get “limited connection” I think when I try connect or “no internet”.

      I don’t make it to load the portal page…

      so maybe I’m not recieving at IP from the network?
