While I really appreciate that we get support for this I don't think just opening a webview automatically is a good idea.
Can we perhaps show a notification [1] "log in to this network" with a button that will then open the web view? Would also be nice if we could indicate that we're behind a portal in the network applet icon (note the exclamation mark on the wifi icon) - we even already have "limited" icons in NM.

delete nullptr is fine, no need for an if check
kded/portalmonitor.cpp (line 50)

That is a pretty technical description

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.
