How to capture web requests in your web browser to help the Cloudi-Fi support team to troubleshoot captive portal issues

Learn how to capture web requests in your web browser:

If you experience some latency or access issues to the Cloudi-Fi captive portal, our support team can ask you to perform a capture of the web requests in your web browser.

This article will explain to you how to perform this task.

To capture the web requests, we will use the "Web Developer mode" of the web browser.

How to capture all the web requests:

1) Connect to the Guest SSID with your laptop

2) Wait for your default web browser to be automatically opened

3) Open a new tab and start the web developer tools

4) Access to an HTTP website like http://3wi.fi or http://neverssl.com

5) Once the captive portal is completely displayed, you can stop and save the capture.

Please find below how to enable the developer mode:
