Summary
Some Android-based devices are not redirected to the Captive Portal when the user gets connected to WiFi network with Android device.
...
- The Android devices check for the following domains which are hosted on Akamai network:
http://clients1.google.com/
http://clients3.google.com/
http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com
http://connectivitycheck.android.com
and other domains used for this purpose by Google.
- If the domain is accessible and returns “generate204” code, the captive portal is not triggered automatically. “generate204” response means the device is connected to the internet.
...
In the MS DNS Server Configuration (dnsmgmt.msc) go to Forward Lookup Zones and create a new zone.
Enter the zone name identical to the test domain.
