wants to connect to captive-cidr.origin-apple.com.akadns.net using RAW protocol

Hello,

My laptop wants to connect to "captive-cidr.origin-apple.com.akadns.net using RAW protocol"

I can't find info on this connection in the forum, can you explain the purpose of this connection for me and if I should allow it?

MacBook Pro M2 Ventura 13.1 (22C65)

Thank you.

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. Command: com.apple.WebKit.WebContent.CaptivePortal Path: /private/preboot/Cryptexes/OS/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.WebKit.WebContent.CaptivePortal.xpc/com.apple.WebKit.WebContent.CaptivePortal Identifier: com.apple.WebKit.WebContent.CaptivePortal Version: 8615 (8615.1.26.10.24) Resource Coalition ID: 408 Architecture: arm64e Parent: UNKNOWN [1] PID: 5932

captive.apple.com blank page I am hosting a guest network using a Linksys guest network. When guests log in on a computer (MacBook Air 2020), the captive.apple.com page pops up and prompts for password and successfully connects to the guest network. However, using the same network and an iOS device (checked with an iPad Pro 2nd Gen, OS 15.6.1 and iPhone XR , iOS 15.6.1, both the latest updates), the captive.apple.com page pop up appears blank and does not have any visible fields to input password. The user is unable to get past this screen, restricting access to the guest network from any iOS devices. For confirmation, I have successfully connected both devices to the same Linksys router using the main network (access restricted for staff), so the issue does not appear to be the devices or their connectivity. This seems similar to many of the other strings about the blank page, but hoping a specific confirmation that the network is working, the devices are updated and able to connect to the router outside of the guest network, and that the issue is localized to iOS devices vs. MacOS might stimulate some better advice in this community. Open to questions or suggestions.

It's an Apple routing server. CIDR stands for "Classless Inter-Domain Routing"
