#### A high performance, small footprint Captive Portal

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
