CUHK ResNet Login Bot

Introduction

This python script keeps the CUHK ResNet or WiFi connection persistently. By default, the CUHK ResNet/WiFi has 8 hours timeout on each session. This login Bot can check the network connection status and re-login the CUHK ResNet/WiFi automatically after the 8 hours timeout.

No network service interruption in your hostel room anymore. :)

If you have Home Assistant on Raspberry Pi, please use the CUHK ResNet Login Service in Home Assistant.
