That's one of those things that will cause you a big headache when you
implement something yourself using iptables/qos etc. Which is why I
think using some third-party tool is probably the best idea.

Most of the third party tools do it the same way. At least that's what I found when searching about it. Apple broke lots and lots of captive portals overnight and everyone was scrabbling round to "fix" them just to please the iDevice junkies.
