Can’t connect to public WiFi via Linux

I am using Fedora 42, and I am unable to access the captive portal of inOui TGV. I can connect to the WiFi with no problems, but I can’t get access to the Internet.

I have tried everything:

  1. Connecting to 192.168.1.1, to http://neverssl.com, to http://wifi.sncf via browser
  2. Running sudo dhclient -r and rebooting the device
  3. Running systemctl restart NetworkManager
  4. Also other stuff I tried in the past with other public WiFis. I am sure there is something wrong with my specific device configuration, it’s not this network.

Nothing works 😩

Can somebody who understands this stuff help me?

😲 Dall’Università La Sapienza arriva WhoFi

#WhoFi si basa sull’idea che la forma dell’onda del segnale #WiFi viene alterata dalla presenza di ostacoli. I segnali Wi-Fi interagiscono quindi con ossa, organi e composizione corporea, determinando distorsioni specifiche per ogni persona creando una sorta di "firma biometrica" univoca con la quale è possibile identificare un soggetto precisamente e su diversi sistemi.

Screenshot of the music player example project. The page showcases snippets of Creative Commons music purchased from Bandcamp, with the song title, artist and audio player shown. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to get a proper playlist Javascript library working with the captive portal, so audio on a page will have to do for now...
