A captive portal is easier to implement by setting a NAT rule that
redirects incoming connections to a desired port on the local x.x.x.1
tethering interface. Once the captive portal stuff is cleared out, the
redirecting NAT rule for that host can be modified not to capture
connections. It's much simpler than having to rewrite DNS replies from
ConnMan. Your patch enforces captive portal implementation for each and
every device all the time, for sure other use cases include letting
hosts through that have completed the steps enforced by the captive
portal.
Cheers,
