About MyPublicWiFi

MyPublicWiFi is Windows software that turns a laptop, tablet, or PC into a Wi-Fi access point or multifunctional hotspot. It can share an internet connection from Ethernet, Wi-Fi, DSL, 3G/HSDPA, or 4G/5G. The software can be used for private networks, such as at home or in an office, and for public access, such as in cafés, schools, or hotels. Access can be free or paid through a captive portal that requires a password, voucher code, user account, or acceptance of terms of use.

The software includes a firewall, an ad-blocking function, and a bandwidth manager for hotspot clients. It can also track and log visited URLs on the hotspot, which may be relevant to users' privacy considerations. Some VPN apps can block DHCP traffic, which may stop clients from receiving IP addresses. The source describes workarounds for this issue.
