So you may need to check for those issues and disable/reconfigure them. Also, if your laptop's Wi-Fi interface isn't configured to get an IP address via DHCP, then networking could be failing for that reason. That last one is not even a website, but all that matters is that you attempt to make an insecure HTTP connection even if it was doomed to fail, the Wi-Fi captive portal would still be able the hijack the attempt as soon as it starts (before it inevitably fails).Īlso, to add some explanations to /u/7amuddyy's suggestions, if your laptop is configured to send all its web traffic to a secure web proxy or via a VPN, then there's no way for the Wi-Fi captive portal network to see an insecure HTTP connection attempt for it to hijack. If you've only tried to load pages that you've previously loaded securely, or if you're running a Chrome extension like "HTTPS Everywhere" that forces everything to go over secure HTTPS if it can, then you might need to try to make an insecure HTTP connection one way or another. Wi-Fi captive portal pages load by hijacking an insecure HTTP (as opposed to secure HTTPS) page load.
