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!
