About Captive Portal Controller

Captive Portal Controller provides controls for Android’s captive-portal detection. A captive portal is the sign-in or terms page that some Wi-Fi networks show before granting internet access. The app can enable or disable detection, choose from preset portal-check servers, or set custom servers. A Quick Settings tile provides a shortcut for toggling detection. The app is a small configuration utility for people who want to control how Android checks whether a network has internet access. The supplied description cautions that on many manufacturer-customized Android systems, the device software may bypass these settings, so changing them is not necessarily a privacy control on every phone. Captive Portal Controller is intended for adjusting system connectivity checks; its effect depends on the Android version and device software.
