Introducing Connectify 3.2! Whether you’re a new user or a dedicated PRO, the newest version of Connectify includes improvements and updates that will guarantee an enhanced experience for each one of our users. Connectify 3.2 users will gain access to our brand new Connectify Support Center, complete with an updated Help menu and Knowledge Base. Upgrade to PRO and use Connectify as a wired Ethernet Router to get Ethernet-based devices onto Wi-Fi or 3G networks. Now you can dust off that old Xbox 360, and get it onto your home or school Wi-Fi network! PRO users can also share iTunes through connected computers with integrated Apple Bonjour Support. All users will also be able to enjoy extensive interface improvements and bug-fixes, making Connectify 3.2 the most feature-rich and stable release to-date!

Connectify v3.2 is now officially available via the Connectify website!
Connectify 3.2.0.22174 Release Notes
- New Pro Features:
- Share over Ethernet: Connectify can now act as a wired Ethernet router. In the ‘Advanced Settings’, select ‘Share Over’, and then select your Ethernet card. In this mode, you can use your Connectify-enabled PC to get Ethernet-based devices onto Wi-Fi or 3G/4G networks.
- Services under Clients: In the ‘Clients’ tab, you can click to expand Clients, showing the services (web servers, shared drives, etc.) right in the ‘Clients’ tab. This makes sharing and working together much easier.
- Apple Bonjour Support: Pro versions of Connectify will now detect many Bonjour / Rendezvous / mDNS services running on connected clients. Automatically detect iTunes and other compatible application shares on connected computers, and click to launch.
- New Connectify Support Center: The many utilities in the ‘Help’ menu have been merged into the Connectify Support Center. This powerful tool helps you troubleshoot any issues, and searches the updated Knowledge Base for related articles (also available online at http://support.connectify.me/forums). If you still can’t find your answer after that, Connectify Pro users can open a support ticket for a quick response, and free users can submit their logs, and while response times are not guaranteed, we appreciate you taking the time to suggest improvements and telling us about issues so we make improvements in future releases.
- User Interface Improvements:
- ‘Getting Started’ screen, shows users what to enter to get up-and-running quickly.
- Some of the labels have been changed for clarification. For example “Wi-Fi” is now “Share Over”
- The ‘History’ tab has been merged with the ‘Clients’ tab
- Names of ‘Internet’ and ‘Share Over’ network adapters has been expanded. We now use the full name for network adapters in the user interface. This should be more informative than the abbreviated “Local Area Network 2” type names that we used in previous releases.
- Bug Fixes: We’ve continued to work with Microsoft to work around various problems with Windows coming out of hibernation / sleep. We’ve tested hundreds of combinations of phones, tablets, laptops and applications for compatibility with Connectify.

If you’re anything like us, you’re so stuffed this day after Thanksgiving, that you feel like a turkey yourself!

Black Friday. Some of you may be participating in the break of dawn mayhem, while others (namely, me) would prefer to stay in bed with a giant cup of coffee before quietly merging into the madness. No matter how you “celebrate,” it’ll be here before you can spell turducken with Google or your new best friend, Siri.
But before you throw on your sneakers at 4 AM to venture to your nearest Wal-Mart like a man on a mission, remember that this is the 21st century. Some of the best gifts aren’t exactly ones you can hide under your tree. (Plus, do you really want to be a part of THIS fiasco first thing in the morning?)
Think about it. Connectify would be the perfect gift for your boss who travels so much has seen more cities this past week than you’ve visited in 10 years. And what about your charming son who would be much more excited about coming home after his first semester at college if his iPad worked in your basement? You can’t forget about him, now can you?
We understand there still may be some of you who simply enjoy the thrill of rushing through crowds to get that last Lets Rock Elmo, but for the rest of you… we’re offering an EXLUSIVE deal on Connectify PRO 3.0. All you have to do is “LIKE” us on Facebook. At 8 PM, we’ll be revealing our $10 off coupon code JUST for our Facebook friends!
Yes, it’s that easy. No sign-ups, or print-outs. Just one click and you’ll be crossin’ those names off of your list before your turkey’s in the oven.
Happy feasting!
The Connectify Team
Offer expires 8 PM EST on Wednesday November 23.

We’re only a few days into November, but it’s hard to ignore the holiday season is almost, if not already here. Dunkin Donuts commercials are advertising that we should pick up their pumpkin coffee “before it’s gone” and Starbucks is already offering their Peppermint Mochas in seasonal red cups. Even Mother Nature seems to be ready for the festivities, blanketing the streets outside of our Connectify office with inches of snow this past weekend.
All of that holiday cheer can come with a lot of baggage. Literally! Last year, AAA said about 92.3 million Americans traveled at least 50 miles from home during the holidays. Traveling costs are on the rise, so between buying gasoline – and gifts — everyone seems to be looking for a way to cut their costs.
Connectify user Jim S. is one of many who lowered his travel expenses significantly by using Connectify while on vacation at Atlantis in the Bahamas.
Jim’s trip involved 2 adults and 3 children, ages 10, 12, and 16. He explained that the resort charged $15 per day, PER DEVICE, for a wireless Internet connection…even if they only logged in for 15 minutes a day.
“Among us we had 3 laptops, 2 iPads, an iPhone, and 2 iPods,” he said. We did the math. Eight devices on a 5 day vacation would have meant a $600 bill for Jim – just for the Internet.
This year, whether you’re captured by the Caribbean or just gathering at Grandma’s, download Connectify on your family laptop to get your iPads, Kindles, and all of the kids’ gadgets online for less. Consider it our gift, to you.
(Very) Warm wishes,
-The Connectify Team
