--- Comment #5 from Daniel <daniel-other+kde...@dadosch.de> --- (In reply to Postix from comment #4) > > It seems at least under Manjaro and Debian there's no captive portal check > configured or enabled by default. I would like to disagree. For Arch, networkmanager is built with the captive portal check-url configured by https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/6d9a73b44b749ef95c9befe8696b742d0bdbd5a9/trunk/PKGBUILD#L115. And thus enabled, as seen in https://jlk.fjfi.cvut.cz/arch/manpages/man/NetworkManager.conf.5#CONNECTIVITY_SECTION : > Whether connectivity check is enabled. Note that to enable connectivity > check, a valid uri must also be configured. The value defaults to true, but > since the uri is unset by default, connectivity check may be disabled. Also for Manjaro, a url is configured by default: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/extra/networkmanager/-/blob/master/PKGBUILD#L101 and thus connectivity check is enabled. Also for Debian, a url is configured by default: https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/network-manager/-/blob/debian/master/debian/20-connectivity-debian.conf#L2 and so connectivity check is enabled. > If not configured, is the hardcoded http://networkcheck.kde.org/ used as a > fallback for probing/opening the captive portal? No, as far as I understand and have observed, plasma-nm gets a signal from NetworkManager that there is a captive portal (by checking its configured url). The user then is shown an popup by plasma-nm about limited connectivity. If the user clicks the button there, the url http://networkcheck.kde.org/ gets opened in the browser. So this is a fully different url than the one NetworkManager used to check the connectivity. > If it applies, as long as the URL is not changeable, can the captive portal > check be disabled completely? It can be disabled withing NetworkManager by choosing the options linked at the beginning. The url http://networkcheck.kde.org/ is not contacted (at least as I have observed) until the user clicks that button in the plasma-nm popup. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
