I had a number of problems, most of which I have now overcome and I also had a family holiday that got in the way. In the end, I used dnsmasq to set up the DNS Server on the Pi and I removed all the routing that I had set up using iptables commands because nodogsplash covers everything! In its config file. I was able to allow only those protocols (UDP and TCP port 53) that were needed to fool the phone into thinking it was on the internet prior to authentication and then port 80 and 443 to the Pi (combined Router and Webserver) to serve the content. It seems to work pretty well. I now only have one problem (I hope). Before I started using nodogsplash, many of the Visitors were having to accept that our WiFi Access Point had no internet access before they could surf to our Home Page. This not very reliable and each version of Android behaved differently as related in my message of many months ago. With nodogsplash, the Visitor is presented with a Sign-on Page, which he has to read and then Click 'Continue'. This routes him to the original Home Page and thence to the content. On my wife's Moto G6 Plus (Android 8.0), this works well. On my Moto G5 Plus (Android 7.0), the Home Page is too big and overflows the screen. I suspect this is to do with the built-in webserver that nodogsplash uses, because if I surf to the Home Page with nodogsplash disabled it works correctly. I used nginx for the original content. Any suggestions on how I can resolve this? -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-07-17 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR

Looks like the domain could well have expired this morning ... since been rectified ... but caching DNS servers have still to drop entries pointing to the "domain Expired" expiration.

I, too, receive a domain holding page from Easyspace saying that the domain has expired. They have posted about it on Twitter. It looks like the issue has been fixed, but we just have to wait for it to propagate to all DNS servers. https://twitter.com/UKMirrorService/status/1016255918441484288 -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-07-17 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR

[Dorset] Problems with The UK Mirror Service https://www.mirrorservice.org/
Could some of you guys try the UK Mirror Service (https:// www.mirrorservice.org/)? This is used by Raspbian (and many other distros) to download updates and install packages (eg apt-get install etc) but it threw up a not found error this morning. When I typed the domain name into Chromium I got the message that the domain had expired. (This behaviour was consistent across my Raspberry Pi and my Kubuntu Linux Box, which both access the internet via my PlusNet ISP. Hamish was able to access the site and I managed to get to it through my Android phone. I then tried changing the DNS Servers in my Netgear router to the Google Public servers and then the OpenDNS servers and now I'm getting 'This site can't be reached'. Is this another of those 'wobblys' like I had with raspberrypi.org the other week? -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-07-17 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
