MyPublicWiFi is free software that allows you to turn your laptop into a secure wireless access point protected with WPA2 encryption.

Features:

  • Restrict user access and block certain internet services with the built-in firewall.
  • Track and record all sessions on your virtual hotspot
  • Displays IP address, MAC address, and device name of all connected devices.
MyPublicWiFi lets you share your internet connection over Wi-Fi and log the websites visited by hotspot users.

MyPublicWiFi is a program that turns your PC into a wireless access point. This is particularly useful for situations where you want to set up a temporary access point, such as in a hotel room, meeting, or at home. MyPublicWiFi lets other devices surf the internet through your access point. 

MyPublicWiFi offers a firewall that allows you to restrict users' access to specific servers. You can also block file-sharing software and P2P protocols such as eDonkey and BitTorrent. More importantly, you can track all the visited URL pages on your hotspot.

MyPublicWiFi gives you the option to share your internet connection, whether it is from an Ethernet, WiFi, DSL, 3G/4G/5G or VPN connection. You also can use MyPublicWiFi as a repeater or in bridge mode. 

MyPublicWiFi uses WPA2 encryption. The network key must be at least eight characters long, while the wireless network itself can have any name you want, including emoji and Unicode characters. 

Setup is straightforward and very simple. You install the program, enter a network name and a network key, and click "Set up and Start Hotspot". The network is configured automatically. Newer versions can also show a login page where friends, family, or guests sign in with a password, voucher code or user account, or by accepting the terms of use. The program also gives you several options to manage the network, such as an ad blocker, a bandwidth manager and port forwarding, and you can stop running your virtual hotspot at any time.

MyPublicWiFi is currently offered as a freeware installation.
