What is com.apple.WebKit.WebContent.CaptivePortal? My iPad mentions a captive portal, my question is, is this just something standard on iOS? I have a 9th gen iPad which says it’s on the latest version. My understanding is a captive portal is an additional layer between the device and the internet. My modem router doesn’t have a setting for captive portal, so I am wondering if this from something other than a standard Apple iOS process. This iPad was recently reset at the Apple Store.

Public WiFi sites like Starbucks, restaurants, etc. use a captive portal displayed in your browser to force you to agree to their terms of use etc. when you are using their WiFi access. Try shutting down your browser.
