Share an Unbreakable VPN Connection over Wi-Fi by Combining Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL with Speedify
One Windows laptop can protect every screen in the house. Turn that laptop into a Wi-Fi hotspot – it broadcasts its own Wi-Fi network the way a router does – and anything that joins it, a Roku, a Chromecast, a games console, a visitor’s phone, goes online through the same encrypted VPN internet connection.
Speedify provides that encrypted internet connection and keeps it fast by carrying traffic over Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular data, wired Ethernet and Starlink at once, and Connectify Hotspot does the sharing. Three steps, about five minutes, and afterwards every device on that hotspot gets Speedify’s privacy and speed.
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Speedify – Fast, Reliable and Secure VPN to Share Over WiFi
Using a VPN will protect you, but most of them will also slow down the Internet, as all data passes through their servers first before going to or from its final destination.
Speedify is a next generation mobile VPN built for speed and reliability that doesn’t slow down your online speed. Speedify uses a proprietary encryption algorithm that is fast and secure, to make sure you don’t compromise speed for security. This is very important when multiple devices will be using the same VPN connection.
Plus – most important – Speedify doesn’t log any data regarding your online activity, as other VPNs (or even your own ISP) might do, in order to sell your browsing data to marketing agencies – ever wondered how come “the ads” know you’ve been looking at something in particular?
It’s time you protect all traffic from your household with Speedify, a fast VPN built for speed, and Connectify Hotspot, a flexible personal hotspot app. This way, you’ll be using the Internet on your own terms.
