CruiseFi Free

CruiseFi Free lets you share your device's Wi-Fi internet connection with other devices by turning your phone into a Wi-Fi Direct hotspot — no carrier tethering fees required.

Perfect for cruise ships, hotels, airports, and any place where Wi-Fi is available but hotspot/tethering is limited or expensive.

📶 HOW IT WORKS:

1. Connect this device to any Wi-Fi network with internet access
2. Start CruiseFi to create a Wi-Fi Direct hotspot
3. Other devices scan a QR code or join the hotspot network manually
4. Connected devices browse the internet through your Wi-Fi connection

✨ KEY FEATURES:

• Wi-Fi Direct Hotspot — Share your connection without using mobile data
• QR Code Sharing — Let devices join instantly by scanning a QR code
• Custom Network Name — Personalize your hotspot's network name suffix
• Custom Password — Set your own Wi-Fi password or generate a secure random one
• HTTP/HTTPS Proxy Relay — Relays traffic from connected clients through your Wi-Fi
• Foreground Service — Keeps the connection alive reliably in the background
• Ad-Supported Free Version — Completely free to use with ads

🚢 PERFECT FOR:

• Cruise ship passengers — Share expensive cruise Wi-Fi with your group
• Hotel rooms — Share one room's Wi-Fi with multiple devices
• Airports — Share limited free Wi-Fi time
• Offices & campuses — Share a single connection safely
• Any Wi-Fi hotspot scenario where tethering is restricted

📱 EASY CONNECTION:

For client devices, connecting is simple:
- Scan the QR code displayed on screen, OR
- Join the DIRECT-… network shown in the app
- Configure the proxy manually with the provided host and port

No rooting or special permissions required on client devices.

⚙️ TECHNICAL DETAILS:
