Captive Portals mostly serve "fake" DNS in order to steer requests to the login portal.
If I connect to a wifi using this, portmaster shows a notification "Captive Portal" detected, but opening it in the browser doesn't work because the browser can't resolve the address of the portal page.

For some reason disabling the DNS protection also doesn't work (immidiately?) and the only thing that works reliably is to shutdown portmaster, login and restart the service.

Suggestion:
Add a button to the notification "Disable DNS protection for 3 minutes" to allow the user to login.
