Revision history [back]

This has been dealt with before but I can't see that it has ever been addressed.

Inability to connect to public WiFi hostspots that require a web based login to access makes SFOS complete useless as a traveling device!

Some security warning is generated and access doesn't happen. The OS keeps trying to connect and the browser keeps opening tabs in the background and suddenly there are 200 tabs to manually close.

For me it is even worse, because the WiFi is a shared connection in one of my apartments and the only way to access it via WiFi is through such a login. Interestingly, my Libreelec box there connects fine via ethernet to the router, but it fails with WiFi in a similar manner ... is it a Linux thing?
