Yes, thanks, I have changed it to do this Quit for you automatically
after the installer is done.  I have added some commands for this,
but they quit and restart the panel, this can get confusing a people
see a dialog reappear twice.

Because the new default entries for the http probe have to be added.

So, ster.nlnetlabs.nl is a HTTP server, that serves a known, fixed
html page.  This is probed to see if web access is available.  If the
page comes back altered into "signon on with your credit card here",
then we go into hotspot signon mode.

It is using these servers to see if it is connected to the internet.
Both serve fixed static pages that are known in advance by the
dnssec-trigger code.

You can configure your own servers, or remove the two existing
entries, if you want.

Yes this works via the above new configured entries.  And to add those
entries with a default value it has overwritten your config ... It
tries to preserve your config otherwise.

I am very interested if it works at that hotel :-)

On windows it now also preserves your config (when you update via the
popup dialog).

Best regards,
