Apple's DHCP Escapement Process

[vaughnhart]

I know that the recommendation is to disable captive portal but that seems to have been restricted in Ventura. In my exploration I am seeing confgid and captiveportal and mdns being involved in the DHCP process. Has anyone else seen the same? I know this is a US government forum but I'm curious if anyone is seeing the same thing. I have a firewall rule that I am working on and in my tinkering I am seeing my machine get an assignment for DHCP then open the captive portal app then stop... then configd comes up and then I see some mdns traffic. But something outside of what I'm seeing (and have allowed in my firewall rules) is working in the background.

Escaprement a mechanism in a clock or watch that alternately checks and releases the train by a fixed amount and transmits a periodic impulse from the spring or weight to the balance wheel or pendulum.

Where is the recommendation to disable captive portal?

You are correct... I believe this was old NSA guidance... that I still keep in mind. My apologies. Wrong place. May I delete this thread?

Sure!
