how does user connect to piratebox?

Hi piratebox is running on my android. When user connects to it does their browser opens and direct to piratebox page or do they have to manually open their browser and point to the hostname ex: pirate.box or ip address?

At the moment it's not opening or directing to the page. I have to manually connect to it with the ip address.

Thanks.

Hi,

the user should only need to open the browser with a HTTP URL (HTTPS does not work).
If this is not working properly there might be a problem with dnsmasq which answers all DNS request with the IP of the device.
