MacOS Mojave doesn’t give IP for Internet Sharing

internet-sharingmacosmojaveNetworkwifi

I'm trying to share the internet connection from a MBP with an Android phone or Windows laptop.

Right now, the MBP gets internet from another Android phone (USB tethering + HoRNDIS) and I want to share it over wifi. The internet works on MBP, but when I try to connect to wifi, it shows Obtaining IP address…, but without success.

The internet connection looks like this:

enter image description here

And this is how it looks the ifconfig result (when sharing is enabled):

I searched for different solutions on Google, but none of them seems to be solve the problem.

I found the problem, it was the firewall from McAfee that was blocking the Internet Sharing.
