How do I stop Tenvo from accepting incoming connections temporarily?

Tenvo has no in-app "service" on/off switch — incoming access is controlled by the access password, not a toggle. To stop accepting incoming connections:

Quit Tenvo. Closing the app stops it accepting new incoming sessions on that device.

Remove the permanent password (if you set one): Settings → Connection → turn Permanent password off. Connections then fall back to the One-time password, which changes after every disconnect — so an old password no longer works and nobody can connect unless you hand out the current one.

On Windows, stop the background service for a hard block:

  1. Open Services (services.msc).
  2. Find the Tenvo service.
  3. Right-click → Properties → set Startup type to Manual or Disabled, then click Stop.

Quitting the app or stopping the service blocks incoming connections. You can still open Tenvo to make outgoing connections.
