Good morning people
I’m new to the forum and new to Mikrotik.
I’ve already been able to set up the Hotspot and log in, surf the internet and so on.
Now I am trying to implement that after the user login in the hotspot, it is redirected to a specific webpage.
When logging in to the desktop, after login the redirection works perfectly, but when logging in to the smartphone, it does not work, just “blinks” the page that I set for redirection.
How can I solve this problem, because it is crucial for my work that when logging on the smartphone the user has already navigated to my specific page.
I count on your help, thank you
The problem is the “Captive Portal” browsers all the phones seem to implement these days.
I assume when you say “blink” it starts to load and the entire browser vanishes completely, this happens because as soon as android detects internet it closes the captive browser.
I found when doing social login (google, facebook) that the IOS and Android devices behaved very differently. Also Android 4.0 and 5.0 behave very differently.
There is one work around which kind of works, and that’s to not allow the captive url ever, this way after login the page will not close. I know the browser won’t close after login, but I am not sure if it will pop up after that.
You can find the list online, again different for different versions.
clients3.google.com/generate_204
connectivitycheck.gstatic.com/generate_204
Those are 2 of them I remember.
If you absolutely have to have the end url display then this is about the only option I believe.
