For other people with the same problem: I found a work around which on the first glance works!

Steps:

  • Push the button on the captive page
  • Write down the device’s MAC address for this connection
  • Deconnect from the WiFi
  • In the setup() of your sketch: Change your ESP’s MAC address to the address of the device before the blynk function starts, see: Get ESP32/ESP8266 MAC Address and Change It (Arduino IDE) | Random Nerd Tutorials
  • Enjoy Blynk with a network using captive pages! :slight_smile:

It is possible to assign a new MAC address to the ESP board:
