Tinywall is an amazingly simple firewall. It is very stright forward ,it satisfy my needs and the best thing is it completely free of charge.
The only problem I have after using this firewall is I can’t use hotspot feature in Windows 10. I could turn it off, connect my hotspot and turn it on again. After a few minutes the firewall will block the connection and I can’t connect again to the hotspot.
After a few search I finally found the solution. I need to exclude some service in order for it to run properly. Follow below step to fix it:
- Right click your tiny wall icon on the bottom right corner.
- Click Manage.
- On Application Exception tab, click on Add Application button.
- Then click on Choose a service… button.
- Find Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service, then press Select and OK after that.
- Test your hotspot connection.
One more tip, I suggest you disable bluetooth connection because it can interfere with your Wi-Fi connection. Enjoy your hotspot.
