Kilobat is a Mac menu-bar app that shows what each app sends and holds back what can wait. At Hong Kong Airport:
When the page doesn’t open by itself, the menu bar says This Wi-Fi wants you to sign in, with Open sign-in page. When a sign-in runs out, it says Logged out by the Wi-Fi’s sign-in page instead of blaming DNS.
Kilobat learns how long sign-ins last on each network, and warns you about five minutes before the next logout. While you’re signed in, the menu shows the time left.
Airport Wi-Fi is shared by a terminal full of people. Switch to the Travel profile and only the apps you allowed connect. Mark the network Metered and Kilobat switches to Travel by itself.
The stutter test pings the internet every 50 ms for 20 seconds and shows the spikes an average hides. Check before meetings warns you five minutes before a call if something would freeze it; with Pro, one button pauses the culprits.
brew install seifip/kilobat/kilobatPro is $29 once for two Macs, with a 7-day free trial and 14-day refunds. How the sign-in checks work: hotel and airport Wi-Fi login on a Mac.

A VPN, iCloud Private Relay or your own DNS can keep it from opening. Turn them off, open http://captive.apple.com in Safari, and turn them on again once you’re signed in. Kilobat shows Open sign-in page when a network is waiting for you.
