    I am wondering how hard this waill affect kde.org web server. This patch has the potentional to create a DDoS attack-like effect on it. Maybe someone from sysadmin should evaluate this.

> Adds portal monitor to our kded module, which checks NetworkManager connectivity. If the value gets changed to NM_CONNECTIVITY_PORTAL (means we are behind a captive portal), then we open a QWebEngineView trying to load "http://kde.org" page which is supposed to be redirected to the captive portal page. Once user logs in and url changes, we re-check the connectivity again and close the web view if we are no longer behind the captive portal.
