MyPublicWiFi: Turn your computer into a Wi-Fi Access Point or Multifunctional Hotspot with a Firewall, URL Tracking, Adblocker, and Bandwidth Manager.
MyPublicWiFi is a user-friendly software that transforms your laptop, tablet, or PC into a Wi-Fi access point or multifunctional hotspot. Anyone within range can access the Internet via your shared network. It’s also an ideal solution for setting up a temporary access point in places like hotel rooms, meeting rooms, or at home. By enabling user authentication, customers are redirected to your login page, where they can authenticate using a access password, voucher code, user account, or by accepting the Terms of Use before gaining Internet access.
The MyPublicWiFi firewall allows you to restrict user access to specific servers. You can also block certain Internet services (e.g., file-sharing / P2P programs) or social media networks (e.g., Facebook). MyPublicWiFi turns your PC into an ad-blocking router. Ad blockers are a powerful tool to save bandwidth and protect user privacy. The Bandwidth Manager enables you to control the download and upload speeds for your hotspot clients.
MyPublicWiFi lets you track and log all visited URLs on your hotspot. Additionally, it supports port forwarding, is available in 19 languages, works without an internet connection, and supports "Hosted Network" and "WiFi Direct" on Windows 10/11.
