Sitting in a hotel in Hamburg, Germany, thankful for Firefox-esr which provides
the page necessary for logging into the network. I´m on Debian 10.
this miracle of connectivity doesn´t seem to happen with Brave browser or Iron.
(a) what is the mechanism FF uses for this feat?
(b) can it be replicated in Brave and Iron (which I generally prefer)?
I admit Brave is often a bit touchy about accessing pages where it suspects
security threats.

Some techniques are given below (I don't know how effective they are,
though).

interesting!
I tried this line at the command line (derived from your reference):
ip --oneline route get 1.1.1.1
that did yield the gateway.
maybe coincidence but my connection immediately collapsed and I had to
log back in.
can´t see why the already present connection would break because of it
though.
I´ll play again (or some other time). but seems this should work.
