From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Testing out SecureBlue - the hardened Fedora, how do you force a login portal for public wifi? (lemmy.world)

I'm testing out the SecureBlue distro, the concept is very cool and I am still learning my ways around it. Anyhow, SecureBlue came with its own hardened browser: Trivalent. It is great and coming from GrapheneOS on my phone, this feels like at home.

But... how the heck do you force a wifi portal to appear when you connect to pubic wifis like malls and hotels? I understand public wifi is not safe but thats another problem. I just want to know how to get online while travelling.

What i tried:

go to 1.1.1.1 or neverssl.com like some sites suggested. Nothing happens
use my phone wifi hotspot to download firefox. Then unharden firefox via some flags (otherwise firefox wouldnt run). Finally, connect to hotel wifi and use firefox to open the login portal.
on sway, obviously nothing happened because its so minimal. .But on the gnome flavor, you can see a pop up to sign in. .On a normal distro, clicking that would open the portal. On this one, it doesnt work.

Any other suggestions? Some dns setting ? Unharden trivalent?

I understand you can use whatever browser you want on Linux, but because Trivalent is hardened i prefer to use just one. Like on Graphene with Vanadium.

Appreciate any inputs.

I found the following on their Discord:

try going to neverssl.com

try ujust dns-selector reset, then try neverssl.com again

try a non-Trivalent browser (e.g. Epiphany), then try neverssl.com again
