Captive Portals

If you use a lot of public Wi-Fi hotspots which have captive portals, you may find that DNS is broken on such networks, and you can't even access the captive portal itself.
If this is the case, select Advanced Settings in the above menu, and toggle on the "Bypass common domains" option. This will exclude common captive portals from using Control D. You can also add your own domains and WiFI networks using the same menu.
