One issue with the "captive portal" idea is that it assumes traffic to
port 80 TCP/IP. (With a web browser being operated by a human.)

How would you treat traffic obviously not web browser related?
e.g. VoIP and VPN.

How about a situation where all you will ever see from a machine is
port 67 UDP/IP, port 53 UDP(&TCP)/IP and mostly port 1194 UDP/IP?
(Assume the machine belongs to the guest's employer rather than the
guest. With the employer having good reasons not to allow
unrestricted/logged access to websites.)
