Turn your Windows 7 laptops into Wi-Fi hotspots

Developed by military consulting firm Nomadio, Connectify lets a laptop "tether" other wireless devices to a single Internet connection by effectively turning it into a software-based wireless router. Windows 7 is required on the notebook acting as a wireless hotspot, but any wireless-equipped device, including handhelds and other notebooks running whatever operating system can jump online without any additional software. The program even encrypts traffic to and from the software hotspot using WPA2-Personal (AES) encryption.

Where is Connectify? I installed it, but I don’t see it.

Connectify is running the Notification Tray next to the system clock. It might not be visisble, because Windows 7 has cleaned up the Notification Tray to hide the icons that you don’t frequently use. If you click on the small white triangle, it will show all of the icons, including the Connectify radio wave icon (circled in this picture).
To ensure that Connectify stays visible, select “Customize”. Find Connectify in the list of programs and select “Show icons and notifications”.

Now what? How do I share my connection?

To get started, click on the Connectify logo in the Notification Tray.

1. Select the Internet connection you wish to share
2. Choose a name for your new wireless network
3. Choose a wireless passphrase
4. Press the Internet Sharing button to turn on your wireless network
5. Now, from your other devices, you can see your wireless network. Choose to join it, and enter the wireless passphrase to connect.

What versions of Windows does Connectify run on?

Connectify runs on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 r2, both in either 32 or 64 bits.

Does it run on Windows Vista or Windows XP?

Sorry, not at this time, Connectify depends on improvements made in Windows 7 to operate. Frankly, Windows 7 is such a big improvement, that we suggest you’re better off upgrading than waiting for us to get all this working on an older version of Windows.

Can I still join a WiFi network while my computer is acting as an Wifi Hotspot?

Yes, absolutely. You can join a WiFi network, and run the Connectify Hotspot on the same WiFi card, at the same time. The Connectify Hotspot is always on the same channel as the WiFi network that you join, but WiFi networks can share the same channel.

Will it work with my cellular Wireless Internet service?

It should, we have tested successfully with several. Please tell us if it doesn’t.

Is this just WiFi’s ad hoc mode?

No, Connectify is real a WiFi Access Point running on your computer. Any device that can connect to a regular access point, can connect to a Connectify Hotspot, with no special setup or software required.

What kind of security does it have? Is it encrypted?

Yes, your wireless hotspot is encrypted with WPA2-Personal (AES) encryption, which is a standard, strong encryption system that is part of WiFi. Your security is as strong as the Passphrase that you select.

How do I turn off encryption?

Encryption is required with Connectify, we take your safety and security seriously.

Am I allowed to share my Internet?

This depends on the terms of service of your Internet Service Provider. Many have terms against reselling the connections, however sharing with friends, family and your other computers is generally fine.

It doesn’t work for me! Help!

Send us an email at support@connectify.me and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

How can I help spread the word about Connectify?

Funny you asked! We have conveniently provided links to several popular social media sites. Don't hesitate to use them all!

GhostSurf Platinum 5.5 Full "Surf Internet Anonymously''

Operating system: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 2000, Windows XP

Ghostsurf Platinum offers a solid suite designed to address several aspects of online security. The Privacy Control Center does a decent job of setting your security level, enabling you to block cookies, hide IP addresses, and encrypt all transferred data. The antispyware module, Spycatcher, lets you schedule and run spyware scans and remove malicious components fairly effectively, though we noticed a few false positives in our tests. You can create a password in the Personal Data Vault to keep files, documents, and passwords safe from prying eyes. The Adarmor component customizes the advertising content displayed on Web pages and automatically blocks pop-up ads. The final component of the suite, Trackscleaner, automatically detects and deletes browser histories and the cache quickly.

We like being able to take care of most aspects of Web surfing security from one app. The interface is clean and intuitive. Each component is easily accessible and quick summaries of each inform us about what we're getting before launching. One concern is that setting the Privacy Control Center to its highest level made it impossible to get to some of our favorite sites, but in most cases surfing was not affected. Overall, we found this suite a solid defense against several types of intruders. Though each component may have better alternatives, this suite is a solid choice for those who want to ensure a secure Web surfing environment with the convenience of one program.

GhostSurf Platinum makes you invisible on the Internet and ensures a secure surfing experience. GhostSurf enables even novice PC users to erase all traces of their online activity, encrypt their Internet connection and remove aggressive spyware automatically. Additional features provide a secure location to store confidential files and eliminate online ads. GhostSurf routes your surfing through proprietary anonymous hubs and lets you see every piece of data your computer emits over the Internet. It even erases your Web history, cache, clipboard, cookies and more using Dept. of Defense standards for data destruction. The SpyCatcher component employs a multi-pronged method for spyware detection to provide the most advanced spyware protection available. GhostMyMail stops spam and protects your online identity. In just seconds you can create anonymous email addresses to send and receive messages freely while hiding your identity from the outside world. Shop, surf, and chat on the Internet without worrying about your inbox being flooded with unwanted email, wasting your time and increasing your risk of falling victim to scams and viruses.

Version 5.5 includes the GhostMyMail, an innnovative anti-spam solution that stops spam by hiding your real email address.
