Apple uses a large amount of domains to avoid this problem.

Really? My point was, I have no specific idea why, but I /constantly/ have problems. My solution is to go to a non-https website in Safari and use the clickthrough. It seems to be on certain networks (not just a % of the time on all networks).

The experience has gotten a lot better. I see Apple's pop up covering a lot more corner cases, but after years I see have problems almost every time I travel.

Some networks started sniffing for the user agent 'CaptivePortalAssist' instead of domain.
