HTML page when I share my connection

Hi,

When I share my connection with my Mac (preference system > sharing internet), I wanna create a webpage to make rules.
When a person connect on my Mac, this page is open.


How can I make do that please ?


Thanks 🙂

You can't without a lot of work.

You appear to be talking about a 'captive portal', that is not supported by internet sharing.


You would probably be better of using a router that could run captive portal software. There is captive portal software but it is mostly for other OS's. This type of networking is best done on a device designed for that purpose (or use a RaspberryPi!).

No it is not designed for that & I have not seen any software designed to make it possible on OS X.

You are asking for low level changes to the built in networking. OS X is not intended for this. A proxy is more likely what you want, but that is also usually done on a device that is designed for that task.


Your Mac will run many linux distro's if you really want to turn it into a captive portal or proxy server, but that is a waste of a money since a cheap PC can run linux & do this.


Choose the right tool for the job.
