# Apple iOS 18.4 / macOS Sequoia Captive WLAN

## eBlockerOS versions affected

The issue discussed in this article is affecting **eBlockerOS <3.2 only**. eBlockerOS 3.2 (available May 2025) or higher is working without problems.

## Captive WLAN problem

Captive WLAN dialog

With iOS 18.4 and macOS 15.4 Sequoia (or higher) Apple has introduced a change when connecting to a WLAN. This change can result in a problem if the WLAN and the Apple device is protected by eBlockerOS.

The Apple device will display a dialog similar to the screenshot on the right-hand side.

Depending on your eBlockerOS configuration it may not be possible to dismiss the dialog. You might end up in a loop - not connecting to your WLAN.

To mitigate the issue there is an easy work-around. Alternatively you can update eBlockerOS 3.2 (available May 2025).

## Workaround

There are two alternative ways to configure the workaround that depend on the connection status of the Apple device.

1. Your Apple device **can not connect** due to the Captive WLAN dialog.
2. Your Apple device**is connected** to WLAN and you can access the dashboard

### Alternative 1 (Apple device without WLAN connection)

In case your Apple device can not connect to WLAN, use a **different**device connected to your WLAN and follow these steps:

1. Open a browser and browse to [http://eblocker.box/settings/](http://eblocker.box/settings/) to open the Settings. You might need to login.
2. Go to *Settings> Devices* and **select the Apple device** from the device list.
3. Select the Tab *Controlbar*:

1. On the Controlbar Tab make sure the option "**Only in standard web browsers**" is set under "Show eBlocker Icon for Controlbar".

1. **Done**. The Captive WLAN check dialog should no longer pop up.

### Alternative 2 (Apple device connected to WLAN)

If your Apple device is connected via WLAN already, follow these steps **on the Apple device**:

1. Open a Safari and browse to [http://eblocker.box/dashboard/](http://eblocker.box/dashboard/) to open the Dashboard.
2. In the tile "Control Bar" check "Show only in standard web browsers" as shown in the screenshot:
   *(In case the tile is hidden, click on the triangle in the upper right corner of the Dashboard and activate the tile.)*
