The way Coova Chilli works with the captive portal, is that it puts the 
network interface into promiscuous mode and all traffic is directed from 
that through coova chilli, then out of the tun interface.

There is also the grase-conf-openvpn package which creates a tun 
inteface for the vpn connection back to the grasehotspot.org server. 
This is used for remote assistance if required.

For the hotspot to work, you need at least the tun interface created by 
coova chilli. The other can be disabled by uninstalling the 
grase-conf-openvpn package.
