What's new

v2020.1 [Apr 1, 2020]
- QR Code support: Just scan the QR code to have your Android smartphone or iPhone join the hotspot without having to log in or type passwords.
- Fixes for various minor user interface issues around Dark Mode.
- The DNS server now uses the system hosts file for overrides of domain names.

v2019.1 [Apr 4, 2019]
Fix for an error starting the hotspot on some 64-bit systems.

v2019.0 [Jan 22, 2019]
- Reduced installer file size – we have optimized Connectify so that you’ll be able to install and update it faster.
- Better support for static IP addresses – clients that do not obtain IP addresses via DHCP are now supported in Wi-Fi Direct mode.
- New and updated emojis from our friends at EmojiOne to use for Wi-Fi hotspot names, upon popular demand. In total there are 157 new emoji including Hot Face, Cold Face, Partying Face, Pleading Face, Woozy Face, and Face with Hearts. You can read more about all the additions at EmojiOne, or just explore in Connectify Hotspot’s emoji keyboard (located next to the Hotspot Name).
- The old “Dispatch” product has reached the end of life. By removing this code, we have freed up significant amounts of memory and disk space for you! Those still using Dispatch are encouraged to check out Speedify or continue to use Connectify 2018.

- Share any type of connection (Wi-Fi, cellular, wired, 3G/4G) via Wi-Fi and Ethernet.
- Bridge and repeat any WPA2 secured Wi-Fi network.
- Use the built-in universal ad blocker that protects your whole household. It saves on average 60% of bandwidth, time and battery life for client devices.
- Solve any gaming console strict NAT issues with its dedicated gaming mode, in conjunction with Speedify fast bonding VPN.
