File types: –
Sideloaded or from Kobobooks: Kobobooks
On external SD:
Steps to reproduce:
  1. Try connect to any wi-fi in China, that is behind the great Chinese firewall
Current result: I cannot connect to any Chinese wi-fi that doesn't have a built-in VPN, or that is simply not able to access the "http://www.kobo.com/buildinfo.xml." file to check if connection works. When I connect to wi-fi, it gets stuck for some seconds and then throws an error.
Workaround: Adding this to the KoboReader.conf file:
Code:
[FeatureSettings]
IgnoreCaptivePortal=true
Fixes the problem.
