Wavvy is an intelligent Chrome extension that spots captive portals on campus, hotel, and airport Wi-Fi, auto-fills your credentials, and gets you online before you’ve opened a tab.
You join the network. Wavvy checks a tiny probe address that should answer “204”, which means you’re really online.
Instead of 204, the network sends a redirect to its login page. That’s how a portal gives itself away.
In a background tab, your saved details fill the form, the terms box gets ticked, and Connect gets pressed.
When the answer is 204, the tab closes and a quiet notification tells you you’re connected.
Wavvy monitors connectivity quietly and checks again when you wake your laptop. It never guesses: after three failed logins it pauses for five minutes, so a wrong password can’t lock you out. Your credentials stay 100% in your local browser sandbox.
Join a pretend network with Wavvy auto-login on, then off, and compare how long it takes to get online.
Details are stored locally in this browser profile and never synced to external servers. Only use networks and accounts you are authorised to use.
