What is the purpose of the Walled Garden feature in MikroTik HotSpot?

The Walled Garden feature in MikroTik HotSpot is designed to allow direct access to specific web pages without requiring users to authenticate through the HotSpot system. This means that users can connect to the specified web pages as a way of providing them with information or services before they log in to the network. This functionality is useful for presenting terms of service, promotional content, or other essential information that users need to see prior to gaining full access to the internet through the HotSpot.

By setting up a Walled Garden, network administrators can provide a controlled environment where certain URLs are exempt from the authentication process, making it easier for users to access important resources or information that can assist with showing them the benefits of authenticating and using the network fully.
