 ====== Captive Portal ======
-The Captive Portal works in a similar way to a WiFi hotspot in a public place. It presents WiFi users with a simple webpage, and prompted to agree to terms before gaining access to the network. If the user clicks on "**OK, I agree!**", the gateway daemon changes firewall rules on the gateway and traffic passes for that client (based on its IP/MAC address). This prevents users from accessing the Internet without agreeing to Terms of Use.
