Ever wondered what really happens when you connect to free public WiFi? The Captive shows you.
This little device creates its own open WiFi network. The moment a phone connects, it's greeted with a custom full-screen warning — a stark reminder that "free WiFi" is never really free. A built-in counter tracks how many devices have been caught, displayed live on the page.
A perfect demo piece, conversation starter, and eye-opener for anyone who connects to open networks without thinking twice. Plug it in, watch the curious get caught.
What it does:
Broadcasts an open WiFi network to demonstrate captive-portal behaviour
Serves a custom branded warning page to any device that connects
Live "caught" counter that persists even after power-off
Runs standalone — just add USB power, no app or setup needed
Hand-built and flashed, ready to run out of the box
Great for:
Security awareness demos, IT educators, the tech-curious, and anyone who wants a striking reminder of why open WiFi is a risk.
Make it yours:
Want a custom network name or your own message on the warning page? The Captive can be personalised — perfect for IT teams running awareness training, events, or just your own branding. Message me before ordering to discuss custom options.
