Feature #15145
Network Connection Wizard
0%
Description
Anonym and I had a discussion on the proposed “network connection wizard”. My understanding is summarized as follows and please correct me if there is anything wrong:
1. We will still keep the Tails greeter but move the network connection and MAC spoof part into “network connection wizard”.
2. The network connection wizard is supposed to be a unified application at least in terms of users feeling.
3. There are still many problem need to be sorted out before implementation:
- anon-connection-wizard is PyQt5 based while Tails prefers GTK. (The PyQt applications are already included in Tails though).
- The webkit which may used in network connection wizard to replace some of the use case of insecure browser(e.g airport WiFi login) sometimes needs to be alive all the time (otherwise the airport WiFi may disconnect).
4. The network connection wizard is more of a future goal.

This looks a bit like Feature #10491 to me. It has a design already BTW.
