Changing Homepage/Start page

When I connect to a public Wi-Fi network, such as school, airport or cafe', I am redirected to a specific homepage. Is there a way to change this page in the browser, or is it something that the network controls and thus can not be changed?

@eblecher I mean that the page is set by the wifi router.

You can't change it.

When you connect to a public Wi-Fi network, the network provider may have set up a captive portal to redirect your browser to a specific homepage. This is usually done for security and authentication purposes. Whether or not you can change the redirect page depends on the network's configuration.

If the network provider has allowed users to change the captive portal page, there may be an option to do so on the captive portal itself. However, if this option is not available, you may not be able to change the page without administrative access to the network.
