-# HotspotAutoLogin Wi-Fi / Hotspot Autologin Script (Automate WEB Logins)
-HotspotAutoLogin is a Python script designed to automate the login process for public Wi-Fi or hotspot networks that require web-based authentication. This script is intended for situations where you often connect to networks that require a web login, such as public hotspots in cafes, hotels, or airports. The script continuously monitors your network connection and automatically logs you in when necessary.

This script is intended for situations where you often connect to networks that require a web login, such as public hotspots in cafes, hotels, or airports.

 ## `How It Works`
 ### Network Monitoring
 The script will continuously monitor your network connection. When you connect to the specified SSID but there is no internet access, it will attempt to log in automatically.
 
-### Auto Login
-If you are connected to the correct SSID but lack internet access, the script attempts to log in by sending an HTTP POST request to the provided URL with the specified credentials. If the login is successful (HTTP status code 200), the script will continue monitoring.

 ### Configuration
 The script reads its configuration from a config.json file. This file contains the necessary information, such as your login credentials, the URL of the authentication portal, the SSID (network name) to which you want to connect, and the frequency of network checks in seconds.
