That is not entirely true. Captive portal can be done without any support in DHCP, but there is RFC support for DHCP:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8910.html#name-the-captive-portal-option

That option is useful for providing clients some expected URL.

DHCP option codes 114 (ipv4) and 103 (ipv6) are not recognized by dnsmasq. I think it would be good to be added.

    absolutely not related with DHCP. Yes you'll need DHCP on yout hotspot, but the captive portal is in no way done by the DHCP service.

    Google exactly for 'captive portal' and you'll find solutions for that, lots free and paid options if you want to.

Howdy,

I think this is done by DHCP, and if not let me know it.

I want to put the some devices to open the browser to signin in my hotspot via captive portal. That is, when the devices connect to the WIFI network, the browser automatically open's, this on smartphones/tablet/similar (i've seen windows doing it aswell).

Is this done by an DHCP option, if yes any ideia on how to?
