OpenNDS is a high performance, small footprint Captive Portal, offering by default a simple splash page restricted Internet connection yet incorporates an API that allows the creation of sophisticated authentication applications.
After installing the snap you can adjust the configuration file in /var/snap/opennds/common/opennds/opennds.conf following the documentation at https://openndsdocs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
Then you need to allow the snap access to the firewall, network configuration, mount information and some system resources with the commands
sudo snap connect opennds:firewall-control
sudo snap connect opennds:hardware-observe
sudo snap connect opennds:mount-observe
sudo snap connect opennds:network-observe
sudo snap connect opennds:system-observe
After connecting these snap interfaces, the opennds daemon will start
automatically. To interact with the daemon the snap package ships
the opennds.ndsctl command

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install opennds, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install opennds --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
