The term “captive portal” or “hotspot” refers to a technique used primarily in communication networks, such as public or private Wi-Fi networks, where users must interact with a web page (the “portal”) before gaining full access to the Internet. This landing page, or “captive portal,” typically asks for an action such as logging in, accepting terms and conditions, or making a payment before providing full access to the network.

Captive portals are common in places such as coffee shops, hotels, airports, or college campuses, or particular usee, where Wi-Fi networks are open but protected by an additional layer of authentication to ensure controlled access.

In short, a captive portal is a web page that is automatically presented when a user attempts to access a network, where certain requirements (registration, payment, etc.) may be required before accessing the Internet.
