Can I ping my connected device through Connectify network?

Ever wondered if you can send a ping to a connected device via Connectify Hotspot? With Connectify Hotspot, you can ping any devices that are connected to Connectify Hotspot! You should be able to ping your connected device whether you're connected to the hotspot via Wired (Ethernet) or Wireless (Wi-Fi).

Please note that Windows Firewall or any firewall-related software typically blocks pings by default, as well as the firewall options in Connectify. A device can only ping the hotspot PC or other devices on the hotspot while it is allowed to reach them:

  • For all devices at once: Settings > Security and privacy > Device access > Devices can reach this PC and each other (Hotspot PRO or MAX).
  • For one device: on the Clients screen, select the device and use its Can reach this PC and others switch.

If this is turned off for a device, it will not be able to ping the hotspot PC or other devices on the hotspot.
