But simple networks and roaming users are perfectly fine with regular static file. I have no idea what user base this overengineered crap is catering but it seems equally useless both on (my) servers and laptops.
- vetinari 6y ago> roaming users are perfectly fine with regular static file. If you want them to have broken DNS, then they are fine. If you want them to have working DNS, then not, regular static file is not fine.
- viraptor 6y agoA significant number of hotels do the login portals using their own DNS servers, do if you ignore those, you can't use that network. Pretty much every corp environment forces local DNS servers.
- Lammy 6y agoThe web portal isn't the only way on to a hotel network, just the most convenient. The Nintendo Switch console doesn't support captive portals either, so I've gotten in the habit of dialing the front desk any time I stay at a hotel and asking to be transferred to the network team. You tell them you need a device whitelisted and provide your room number, duration of stay, and the MAC of any devices.
