Common questions about captive portals
What is a captive portal?
A captive portal is a web page that users see before accessing your WiFi network. It can display terms, collect information, require authentication, or process payments before granting internet access.
Do I need special hardware?
No special hardware is needed. IronWiFi works with your existing WiFi infrastructure from vendors like Cisco Meraki, Aruba, UniFi, and 50+ others. Simply configure your access points to use our RADIUS server.
Is the collected data GDPR compliant?
Yes. IronWiFi is fully GDPR compliant with built-in consent management, data export, and deletion capabilities. All data is encrypted and stored securely in your chosen region.
Can I customize the portal design?
Absolutely. You have full control over branding, colors, logos, background images, and even custom HTML/CSS. Create unique splash pages for different locations or campaigns.
Which social login providers are supported?
We support Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, and Apple ID. Users can authenticate with one click using their existing social accounts.
