I said pop-up because that's what the Mikrotik help says it is. Is it actually a redirect then?
I would have thought it would block them as I thought that was what the "advertise-timeout" setting was for.

It delivers the page to the end user's browser directly. You are correct that transparent proxy is part of it. I can't say if it will log them out if they are not running a web-browser and cannot view the advertisement. -- Butch Evans Network Engineering and Security Consulting http://www.butchevans.com/ Mikrotik Certified Consultant (http://www.mikrotik.com/consultants.html) -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.
