No, I don’t run a firewall. It’s their own firewall that blocks their own landing page where I would see an “accept terms” prompt.

A difference my phone has from a usual setup is that I replaced the http://connectivitycheck.android.com/ ping address with 127.0.0.1 (which never fails so my phone does not complain about “limited” networks). A side effect is that I have to go to http://neverssl.com/ or another HTTP-only page in my browser to show captive portals. This is why the right screenshot is in Firefox, not WebView.

Ah, alright. That’s pretty shitty.

Though it’s still not the wisest to use these open wifi networks. Their firewall did a favor tor you IMO. 😄
