How to connect multiple devices on a restricted internet connection
There are situations where your network administrators will not allow you to connect more than one device to the network for various reasons. Of course, there should be the option of paying for an extra device, but why do that when you have Connectify Hotspot?
There are 2 options to connect multiple devices to the Internet and still appear as a single computer using the Internet:
- Just connect all your devices to a Wi-Fi hotspot created with Connectify, with Network access set to Routed (the default). This is the easiest route to hassle-free Internet in this context. Connectify Hotspot 27 takes care of looking like a single computer by itself; there is nothing else to turn on.

Don't use Bridged network access or Wi-Fi repeater mode for this: both put each device on the network as itself, so the network sees every one of them. - If the suggestion above doesn't help, you can share a VPN over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Use a VPN program and pick the VPN as the Internet to share in Connectify Hotspot. This way, your network admins will see nothing else but that you’re running a VPN program, if that’s something they accept. This also has the effect that the clients are only borrowing your Internet connection, not getting access to your local area network (which might be what the administrators are trying to protect).

USE A VPN SUCH AS SPEEDIFY AS YOUR “INTERNET TO SHARE"
Note: If it’s really important, Option #2 (Using a VPN) is the safest option for protecting your security on any network.
