Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/1230

I could like to use WiFiManager instead of AutoConnect. But I can't. WiFiManager requires that you connect to the AP, then go to the browser and type in the IP address. I'm making something for an 86 YO, she can't do that.

The AutoConnect, while much more difficult to implement, will automatically go to the configure page as soon as you connect to the AP.

Is there anyway to do that with WiFiManager?

Will, for me with WiFiManager library when I connect to the ESP AP it automatically opens the configuration page if I'm using my laptop (windows and mac), and with my phone, if I try to open any link with any browser it will automatically redirect you to the configuration page.

You can start webmanager by itself now with cutting edge.

Autoconnect is supposed to use captive portal, that is what it does...
