I was asked to create a new bug for this in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1727237 as it seems to be a different issue.

I have installed the nightly image of Kubuntu Bionic from 25th of April.

There systemd is in version 237-3ubuntu10.

Workaround:
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service
sudo service systemd-resolved stop
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
  >> add "dns=default" under [main]
sudo service network-manager restart

Then I can connect to the WIFI and I see the login page in Firefox.

To capture some data I did the following:
 - connect to Hotspot
 - enter golem.de

Case 1: Fresh default Kubuntu install
With a default Kubuntu install it does not work. I can connect to the WIFI and get IP and DNS from DHCP but I cannot resolve any hostname. When trying to open the router ip directly in the browser it forwards to hotsplots.de which cannot be resolved.

Case 2: With aforementioned Workaround
I connect to the wifi, I open firefox and the login page shows up (if I havent been connected yet. In the capture I already was able to connect to the hotspot which allows immediately to connect to the webpage)
