[release] CaptiveDNS - Access the browser on the Switch locally (self-host instructions)

[VGMoose]

BrowseDNS is hosted by us as a helpful service to browse the Internet, but there may be scenarios where you would prefer or need to self-host the DNS, without relying on an external server.

CaptiveDNS allows you to effectively run the same DNS redirection service as BrowseDNS, but on your local computer! To use it, run the app and enter the IP that it shows on your Switch.

Download and more info: https://github.com/browseDNS/CaptiveDNS

The interface:

The name CaptiveDNS is due to the fact that it creates a Captive Portal redirect on the network (similarly to how BrowseDNS works).

The app itself is a fork of YourFriendlyDNS with less configuration options. For more advanced DNS use cases, YourFriendlyDNS should be used instead of CaptiveDNS.

Updated this app with some newer connection test URLs, and a fix for the Mac app erroring in some scenarios.

I'm working on an update to this app alongside a port to more platforms (such as for mobile or chromebooks). Has anyone here tried it and/or has any feedback to leave?
