Unbreakable VPN Connection for Captive Portals by Combining Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL with Speedify
A captive portal login is a web page where users accessing a network are automatically redirected to. It usually lists the terms and conditions for using the network and can also require a username and password to log in.
If you’ve been into a public WiFi, you’ll know that you have to enter the information that they need. It can be your email address, phone number, etc. But, most of them requires you to agree into some agreement just to use their WiFi facility. This is the case for some public WiFi like hotels, coffee shops, school, or even work networks.
Speedify delivers an unbreakable VPN connection by intelligently bonding multiple internet sources, ensuring continuous uptime and encrypted protection.
Why Speedify VPN is unbreakable vs. other VPNs
Most VPNs stop working the moment one of your internet connections has a problem. If your Wi-Fi glitches, or your device briefly switches between 4G / 5G and Starlink, you can suddenly lose your VPN connection.
Speedify is built to prevent that. Instead of relying on just one connection, Speedify can use all your available internet connections at the same time: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 4G / 5G cellular, even Starlink or other satellite. If one connection slows down or drops, Speedify instantly moves your traffic to another internet source so your VPN stays connected and your online activity isn’t interrupted.
In this video, you’ll see how Speedify keeps your internet connection secure, smooth, and reliable by intelligently spreading your encrypted data across the available connections. The result: an unbreakable VPN tunnel.
Combining multiple internet sources like Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, Starlink and wired broadband together makes Speedify VPN unbreakable
Speedify combines Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, Starlink and wired broadband for secure and unbreakable VPN tunnels
No matter how secure your VPN is, if you experience a drop in your Internet connection, either your VPN tunnel will break leaving you unprotected, or you’ll be stuck offline. Speedify is the only VPN that seamlessly combines all of your connections, including Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, Ethernet, and Starlink, into one unbreakable connection to keep you online and secure.
Speedify will automatically detect any available Internet connections on your device, encrypting and intelligently distributing your online traffic between them for optimal performance. If you need help we have quick start guides available for most common set ups.
Combine personal hotspots for unbreakable and secure uploads and downloads
Speedify's Pair & Share feature enables you to connect to multiple personal hotspots at the same time and wirelessly share LTE, 4G, and 5G cellular connections back and forth between multiple Speedify users on the same local network to create a faster, more reliable connection for everyone.
With Speedify, all of your available internet sources - even shared personal hotspots - are combined inside the secure VPN tunnel with your encrypted traffic intelligently distributed between them, while split tunneling allows blocked sites to bypass. So, if any connection slows down or drops out, the VPN tunnel stays active and the other connections will automatically take over to keep you securely, seamlessly connected.
Captive Portal Login Benefits
Network administrators use captive portal login pages for the following purposes:
- Manage the bandwidth, duration, and even the number of users in your WiFi network.
- Make sure that you have a good quality of internet connection by preventing illegal users from joining the WiFi network.
- Captive portals paired up with the server system, can track all the users who have accessed the network. Under this condition, you can prevent, reject, or kick unwanted and suspicious users from your network
No more experiencing slow internet connection because some users are hogging (taking advantage of) the WiFi network.
Do Captive Portal Logins Really Interfere with Network Security?
Yes, they do. Wi-Fi networks with captive portals / Wi-Fi splash screens (“Before we let you connect, you have to agree to our terms of use” pages) announce a default route that is by default out of service. They hijack your DNS requests to point to their entry web server. As a result, they mess with your browser tabs, confuse update managers and may require you to turn off DNSSEC and VPNs.
Furthermore, public internet isn’t always secured! Attackers can gain backdoor entry to the network. This gives them the capability to steal sensitive data, such as your personal information, along with a multitude of other malicious acts.
An interesting attack scenario has recently been demonstrated by one of the renowned hackers, Jayson Street, who said all it is needed is to walk around with the right device to get into someone’s device. So, whenever you’re on public internet, make sure that you’re using a VPN! Even when connecting to the network from the captive portal login page.
Use Speedify to Simplify Your Captive Portal Login Process
As explained above, whenever you access a public Wi-Fi with a captive portal login and you’re using a VPN, you have to disconnect the VPN. If you’re using Speedify bonding VPN as the VPN:
- Speedify will show you a notification asking you if you want to login
- Other services / apps (like Skype / Slack calls) will continue to work on one of the other active connections – e.g. cellular on your smartphone
- If you click the notification, (or the message in the app) it will pop up the login screen in a window.
- When you login successfully, Speedify will immediately start using the wifi.
Speedify is the only VPN app that can help you combine multiple internet connections (Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, Ethernet, Starlink, Satellite and more) to improve the stability, speed and security of your online experiences. Moreover, Speedify handles captive portals better than any other VPN:
- when it detects a captive portal, it automatically moves the traffic to and from the captive portal login page outside of the encrypted VPN tunnel
- once you successfully log onto the network, Speedify moves that direct traffic back to the VPN tunnel
- you can always use the split tunneling feature (Bypass) for specific services - this will put traffic to and from those outside of the bonded VPN tunnel.
Speedify is the only VPN that works seamlessly with captive portal login pages. And it provides fast, stable and secure Internet by combining multiple Internet connections at once. What are you waiting for?
