Quick replacement that mirrors NeverSSL

nossl.sh stays on plain HTTP with no HSTS or surprise upgrades, matching what most gateways expect before showing a login prompt.

You also get a live snapshot of headers, IP, and scheme to prove what the network sees.

• Open http://nossl.sh right after joining Wi-Fi.
• Watch for redirects to confirm the portal caught the request.
• Reload after login to verify the walled garden released you.

Fix the usual blockers

If neither NeverSSL nor nossl.sh appear, clear VPN/proxy tools, set DNS back to automatic, and forget and rejoin the network.

• Test again with curl http://nossl.sh to rule out browser cache.
• Compare the request headers to see if a filter rewrites them.
• Share the JSON output with hotel or airport IT for whitelisting.

Why would NeverSSL stop working?

Some venues block or rate-limit the legacy domain. Others intercept HTTPS only, leaving the HTTP check untouched. nossl.sh offers a maintained alternative with diagnostics.

Do I need to stay on HTTP the whole time?

Yes while triggering the portal. After you authenticate, move back to HTTPS sites for normal browsing or start your VPN again.
