It doesn't work so well. Sometimes I have to try every single browser on my phone or tablet and different sites. Eventually one of them triggers the captive portal detection. Sometimes I just give up.

Any Android from 4 to 7. I guess it depends on how much the portal is trying to be smart.

Getting it working correctly can be annoying. There is actually a HTTP status code for captive portal redirection (511), but nothing supports it. So if you use it, captive portal detection stops working.
