Vodafone related error when trying to use public WiFi

Does anyone know how to resolve this when trying to use public WiFi? Seems something about my Vodafone broadband is very embedded in my Xiaomi mi 9 lite, removing the Vodafone app didn't resolve it

I'm not quite sure what's happening here.   Does this appear on all public networks, or have you only tried it on McDonalds so far?

Also, how are you trying to connect?   Are you in the list of available wifi networks and tapping on the one you want to connect to?   I don't use Xiaomi devices, but I've never seen a page quite like that.  It certainly looks as though the phone is trying to use your home network, but it shouldn't appear on the list if you're out of range.  

My phone has a general Wifi preferences page with "turn on automatically" unchecked (for when I specifically don't want to use wifi) and "Open network notification" on so that I know when one is available.

Can you try turning "connect automatically" off, but leaving wifi itself on.   I'd expect the device to connect seamlessly to anything it can check in to (public networks will usually throw up a sign-in page).

Did anyone solve this.
Since last week I have been unable to login to any Vodafone operated wifi, beefeater, David Lloyd, Prezzo etc.
All with the same page as above.
I have tried clearing the browser cashe, reset all network settings, disabled auto login, everything I can think of but nothing works.
In Waitrose, it works fine with BT this appears to be Vodafone only related.

My friends phone connects without any problem at all, this started on m phone a week ago. I have Vodafone broadband at home and log in there no problem but of course that does not have a confirmation page like public wifi has.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

EDIT: this started 7 days ago, no problems in the past.
