PiRate Box Home Page Not Connecting

I have installed piratebox on my raspberry pi 3 and I cannot seem to get the home page to redirect. So if I type 192,168.1.1 it doesn't redirect me to the pirate box homepage. I can ssh into the box.
*EDIT I am able to connect via phone but not normal browser*
Thanks

Strange, I have raspberry 3 and it works well, the address is 198.168.77.1 ,with HTTPS pages does not work but this is normal
the problem is that if some phones do not detect the internet connection goes automatically to data connection and then the redirect does not work

The OP did use the wrong ip 192.168.1.1 , on RPi the IP is 192.168.77.1

Maybe, on your client you are using a static IP for DNS.

I'm having same problem as OP. I can ssh into it, I can access it with a smart phone. Pretending to be a user and using a laptop with Windows 7 and Firefox or IE, I cannot see anything. It says my internet is limited on the wifi bar, and when I try to enter any address, it will not go to the piratebox homepage. I even tried 192.168.1.1, which is what ipconfig tells me the default gateway is.

Did the following to fix it.
sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq
sudo systemctl disable dnsmasq
sudo systemctl restart piratebox

Windows Computer cmd.exe window
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew

seemed to cure the problem.

Weird. It works now though, thanks.

Hi,
thank you for posting this solution. Is this solution based on our RPi image, which we prepare for PirateBox on the RaspberryPi? If yes, did your run an update?
On our default image, dnsmasq is deactivated during image generation: chroot-installation-script

Best regards Matthias

Hello
i think have the same problem : i can't access to the home page of pirate box

i have a pirate box on rpi3 and i try to connect with an other rpi3 (raspbian strech)
the rpi is connected with wlan on piratebox share freely !

but 192.168.77.1 in firefox or chromium return this message .
adress unreachable

Does the pb come from the other rpi3 or from piratebox config ?

Thanks for help

If you are working with a self installed Piratebox, make sure you disabled the default dnsmasq and lighttpd before starting PirateBox. Compare to our armbian HowTo, we disable all default enabled services during installation.
