White label hardware configuration guide
To enable users to log in using the white label domain instead of socialwifi.com, several changes in the network configuration are necessary. The primary changes involve setting the appropriate "redirect URL" and configuring the "Walled Garden" (or its equivalent, depending on the vendor).
This guide uses an example domain "your-wifi-brand.com", which must be replaced with the desired white label domain.

Make sure to change "your-wifi-brand.com" to the white label domain in the first entry. The one entry that must be changed is this one: add comment="Allow captive portal main service." dst-host=*.your-wifi-brand.com
After completing all these steps, the login process will take place in the white label domain instead of "socialwifi.com".
