As the post linked isn’t bug report and if you checked that there isn’t duplicate I would leave this one open.

Also a workaround is not a fix, so a bug report is still usefull

You can try to visit http://neverssl.com in a browser (making sure to type in http://, else the browser will likely default to HTTPS, and fail because of the portal - make a bookmark for the next time).

Should give the same effect as the CPH app - showing a simple web page over a non-encrypted link that the portal can intercept and let you activate internet access.
