![]() They would be aware of the captive portal configuration on the local Wi-Fi network, and especially if faculty members are using Linux they probably could help in pinpointing the source of the problem. You could also consult the tech support at your school. Keep in mind though, that your school's IT policy might prohibit the use of packet sniffers on the local network as such tools could easily be used to invade the privacy of others on an unencrypted network. The right tool for this job is a packet analyzer, such as Wireshark. When troubleshooting captive portal issues, the first step would be to identify what type of redirection is in use and at which point the redirection fails. Packets headed from the captive portal to the host get in turn their source address rewritten so that they would appear to originate from the original destination. In cases where the captive portal software runs on the router itself, the packets are directed to an internal interface instead. 1 08:25:26 Luca91 Member Registered: Posts: 21 Hello, I have many programs that start automatically after I login (using sddm) to my machine, that needs an internet connection to work (MS Teams, Thunderbird, Slack, etc). ![]() In redirection working on the IP layer a router performs Destination Network Address Translation (DNAT) to reroute packets originating from an captive hosts to the captive portal. This DNS server will in turn return the IP address of the captive portal as a response to all DNS lookups made by unauthenticated clients. The firewall could also redirect any DNS queries from unauthenticated clients to the local DNS server. In order to do this, wpasupplicant must be configured so that it will be able to submit the correct credentials to the authenticator. In DNS based redirection the firewall ensures that only the DNS server(s) provided by DHCP may be used by authenticated clients. The first step to connect to an encrypted wireless network is having wpasupplicant obtain authentication from a WPA authenticator. The client HTTP request is forwarded to a server in the local network which issues a server-side redirect with a HTTP 302 Found status code, which will redirect the client to the captive portal. However, when the browser makes a HTTP request to the resolved IP address, the request is intercepted by a firewall acting as a transparent proxy. In this case, DNS queries from unauthenticated clients are resolved as normal. There are several ways to implement a captive portal: They are typically used for authentication on Wi-Fi hotspots, but can be used to control wired network access as well. If the connection is successful, we can cancel the process (Ctrl+c) and execute it again with the -B flag to keep it running in the background: $ wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp3s0 -c /etc/wpa_nf -D wext 5.What you describe is called a captive portal. Finally, the -D flag precedes the driver’s name. The -c flag is used for the path of the configuration file. The -i flag serves to specify the network interface. Next, let’s can launch wpa_supplicant with the connection parameters to test that everything is working properly: $ wpa_supplicant -i wlp3s0 -c /etc/wpa_nf -D wext It finds the network: SSID + wpa 10 After a timeout it reports that the connection failed. We should try different drivers if our systems don’t work with the generic ones. Approach 1 (default): The default way of doing this is supposed to be just systemctl stop rvice followed by wifi-menu. However, the most common driver is wext, so it’s the one we’ll use. There are other drivers that may appear on other systems. I am able to update using pacman -Syu and otherwise connect to my wifi when arch-chroot'ed to my Arch partition from Ubuntu, but am unable to connect to wifi when booted directly into my Arch partition nor can I execute iwctl. ![]() Macsec_linux = MACsec Ethernet driver for Linux I installed Arch using bootstrap from Ubuntu following the Install Arch Linux from existing Linux wiki. Wext = Linux wireless extensions (generic) ![]() For the following sections, we’ll assume a wireless network named WLAN_NAME with a password of WLAN_PASSWORD. The more interesting content is the Address, the Quality and Signal level, the ESSID, and the wireless security type (under the IE section). The use of grep is optional, but by using it, we can filter the dense output of iwlist. Otherwise, we can scan with iwlist combined with the s mode and the name of the active network interface: $ sudo iwlist wlp3s0 s | grep 'Cell\|Quality\|ESSID\|IEEE' If we already know the ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentifier), which is the network name, we can skip this step. Thus, the previous command and many of the following commands will be preceded by the sudo command.įinally, we may also want to scan the surrounding wireless networks. To manage the network interfaces, we need super-user rights. ![]()
