The Meshenger webinterface is now available at http://192.168.2.1 when connected to its associated hotspot, in this case 'meshtest1'. The Meshenger webinterface is now available at http://192.168.2.1 when connected to its associated hotspot, in this case 'meshtest1'.
### Configuring the Hotspot as captive portal
We want connecting clients to be redirected to our webapp, no matter what url they request. To do so we need to add some firewall rules, configure dhcp and dnsmasq.
Add the following firewall rules:
`$ vi /etc/config/firewall`
```
config 'rule'
option 'target' 'ACCEPT'
option 'src' 'hotspot' # guest wifi interface
option 'proto' 'tcp'
option '_name' 'Website' # this can maybe go?
option 'dest_port' '80'
config 'redirect'
option 'proto' 'tcp'
option '_name' 'Website' # this can maybe go?
option 'src' 'hotspot' # guest wifi interface
option 'src_dport' '80'
option 'dest_port' '80'
option 'dest_ip' '192.168.2.1' # ip of webserver
```
In the dnsmasq section of the dhcp config (first section) add the following line:
`$ vi /etc/config/dhcp`
```
list server '//192.168.2.1'
```
In the dnsmasq config (first section) add the following line(s):
`$ vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf`
```
# Redirect all dns requests to meshenger
address=/#/192.168.2.1
```
Restart dnsmasq to apply the changes:
`$ /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart`
Now all http requests will be directed to Meshenger!
