## What it is
KikiAuth is a LuCI-based OpenWrt application that acts as an alternative auth server for WifiDog, enabling captive-portal authentication via OAuth providers (Google, Facebook, Twitter) directly on the router. The project is explicitly halted due to insurmountable issues with HTTPS-only OAuth providers and dynamic IP-based firewall rules.

## Use cases
- run a captive portal on an OpenWrt router
- authenticate wifi users via OAuth login
- replace WifiDog auth server without a separate machine
- build a splash page wifi hotspot with social login
- manage firewall rules for guest wifi authentication

## When to choose
- you need a reference implementation of OAuth-based captive portal auth on OpenWrt
- you want to study LuCI application development or WifiDog integration

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready captive portal solution
- your OAuth provider is HTTPS-only (Facebook, Google) since the approach is unreliable
- you need ongoing support or bug fixes - the project is halted since 2018
