Abstract
Methods to securely remediate a captive portal are provided. In these methods, a processor of a user device detects a connection, via a network, to a captive portal. Based on the detected connection to the captive portal, the processor launches a dedicated secure web browser, and selectively restricts access of the user device to the network in order to only allow, via the dedicated secure web browser, communications related to remediation with the captive portal.
