That's defined by login-command: in /etc/dnssec-trigger/dnssec-trigger.conf
which we did not change from the default "xdg-open".

It uses the URL configured by login-location: for which we use:
"http://hotspot-nocache.fedoraproject.org/"

xdg-open could be changed to a user's firefox, or a private window
firefox, or chrome, etc etc.
