About Using the Wifi hosted network feature of Windows operating system. With the wifi hotspot created by this tool, you can allow any device with wifi support to access the network and the Internet connection available in your computer. HostedNetworkStarter crashes when trying to start the hosted network. The crash occurs inside hnetcfg.dll while HostedNetworkStarter requests to disable previous ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) settings in order to set ICS for the hosted network. It's unclear whether this crash occurs because HostedNetworkStarter does something wrong or it's some kind of bug in ICS component of Windows 10. Some people reported that this crash started to appear after installing Windows 10 Anniversary Update.		About IPVanish VPN protects your personal data in the heat of privacy threats with one touch.

		Pros from Real Users Pros The latest update, July-2022, brought a better interface. It also seems to always choose the fastest available server, I have never had slow-downs yet after several months of daily use, IE- Packet loss lag or stuttering. I like the fact they do not keep logs or personal information, which is why people use a VPN, to be invisible and private while on the internet. And to be safe while online shopping or banking/investing. I have 0 complaints about IPVanish VPN and highly recommend it. IpVanish performs well at most of the times but sometimes it causes a lot of frustration due to it's slowed down speeds.
