Hotel Wifi problem on Ubuntu 18.10
On Dell Latitude I run Ubuntu 18.10. Originally the wifi symbol had a question mark which I got rid of by switching off connectivity check in privacy settings. This didn't fix the problem. Network adapter is Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565/AR9565. This didn't happen previously on other wifi connections.
The webpages report error ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED, which I find quite weird. Restarting network connection doesn't fix it.

Have you gone to things like cnn.com or the hotel's landing page? it sounds to me like you're stuck in a captive portal and need to accept the terms of connecting before it puts you into the Internet. Do you use a non-standard DNS server in your configuration, or try to configure this manually without just doing straight DHCP with Network Manager and no manual configurations?

You cpuld be right. Currently ipv4 and ipv6 methods are set to automatic, so are dns and routes. Dns seever is thw same as ipv4 except for the fourth value. I didn't swt anything manually. Network proxy is off.
