MyPublicWiFi for Windows

What is MyPublicWiFi?

MyPublicWiFi turns a Windows laptop, tablet or PC into a Wi-Fi access point. Use it to share an existing internet connection with nearby devices, configure a network name and key, or manage a guest hotspot. The publisher lists Internet Connection Sharing, router, bridge and repeater modes, plus local networking without an internet connection.

For managed guest access, the application offers a login page with an access password, voucher codes, user accounts or acceptance of terms. Its firewall can restrict services, while the bandwidth manager controls client upload and download speeds. URL logging is also available. These are publisher-described capabilities, not results from an installation or performance test.

Choose a mode that matches your hardware and network. Wireless Bridge Mode requires two Wi-Fi adapters. When sharing a VPN connection, some VPN apps block local DHCP traffic, leaving hotspot clients without an IP address or internet access; the publisher recommends allowing local network connections in the VPN app. MyPublicWiFi shares an existing VPN connection rather than supplying a VPN service.
