Can't connect to public network with NetworkManager. Arch, xfce4

I can easily connect to any protected network, p.e. my home wifi or my wifi shared from my phone, where password is required. But when I try to connect to open public wifi, which requires authentication through web browser my networkmanager simply disconnects. I can say it looking on the output of journalctl:

Even when I try some standard router addresses in my web browser like 192.168.1.1 it doesnt redirects me to wifi login page.

Please help me handle this issue.

Have you set a custom nameserver in NetworkManager?

I think public portals use their own DNS to redirect to the login page.

No I haven't. It should help? I just use GUI version of Network-manager. I think it was pacman package network-manager-applet. I use it with default settings. Could you please expand your answer?

No, I think you need to allow NetworkManager to dynamically change the nameserver so that it requests the URL from the router.

See this post by Trilby for another suggestion:

There are a few other suggestions in that thread with more available from your favourite search engine — you are not the first to encounter this problem.
