Captive portal support?

Open Ambient-Impact opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I have to connect to Starbucks WiFi daily for work, and I notice ProtonVPN doesn't provide an option to log in to the WiFi or seems to have any indication that the reason that it can't connect is because of the captive portal Starbucks uses. Coming from TunnelBear - which has built-in support for captive portals and which gives me a notification that I need to log in to it to connect - this feels like a UX issue in ProtonVPN, since one of the primary use cases of a VPN is to protect traffic on public WiFi. In addition to making the experience better for a lot of us, I can also imagine this bringing in more users who aren't as tech-savvy to ProtonVPN, increasing adoption of it overall.

+1 I using ProtonVPN on my laptop and add it to run automatically at startup in Windows 10. The ProtonVPN is connected at home and everything is working properly. But on campus, the ProtonVPN is not connected and I can not see the login page (Cyberoam) I have to disable ProtonVPN and login to Cyberoam and reconnect to ProtonVPN. Please support captive portal like SpeedifyVPN. Thanks.
