Video walkthrough
Start with an untrusted device
The unknown Linux computer is restricted, and connectivity tests confirm that it cannot reach the gateway or internet.
Register through the portal
The browser reaches the captive portal. The guest submits their details and identifies a sponsor.
Approve the request
The sponsor reviews the guest’s information in an email and grants access.
Verify internet-only access
Internet connectivity succeeds while access to the internal network remains restricted. The administrator can review the guest’s role.

Read the condensed transcript
The demonstration starts with an unknown Linux device that has restricted access. Its connectivity tests fail, and its browser is redirected to the configured captive portal. The guest accepts the displayed terms and chooses self-registration, then supplies guest details and the sponsor’s email address. The request remains pending until the sponsor reviews the email and approves it. The guest then receives internet-only access for the displayed period; internal network access stays restricted. EasyNAC shows the guest’s identity and role in the administrator view.
Condensed from the original demonstration for readability. This video shows an earlier EasyNAC interface. Connector requirements and available checks depend on your current release and configuration.
