I actually already do this on my home network. Instead of a landing
pageâwhich is always annoying and will cause the network to be
unusable by devices without a web-browserâI use a second
virtual-network for tor. So when I connect via my normal network name
I'm on the plain-ol' internet, but when I connect to mynetwork-tor I'm
on the Tor network.

If you own a coffee-shop, hotel, small business, etc. this works well
because people will have to come to you to request the password at
which time you can make sure they understand the benefits and dangers
of routing traffic through Tor. If they don't seem to know what
they're doing, tell them to use the normal one (which can have a very
strict access-policy, white-list a few good websites, etc.), otherwise
tell them to use Tor.

Best,
Sam
