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
