Tau sendiri kan kalau Vimeo sama Reddit itu di-blok internet-positif. Padahal aku sering pakai Vimeo buat liat2 tutorial dan dengerin musik band-band luar. Aku juga sering baca-baca Reddit karena seru dan banyak informasi, terutama seputar diskusi startup, gadget dan webapps terbaru. Jadinya waktu kedua situs itu diblok sama internet positif aku jadi sebel banget gan! Tapi semenjak aku nemu Hotspotshield, aku jadi bisa buka-buka situs favoritku: Vimeo ama Reddit. Versi Elite nya juga engga lelet, puas banget buat nonton streaming dari Vimeo. Makasih banget Hotspotshield! Pokoknya T.O.P.B.G.T :)

While there are plenty of VPN options available, Hotspot Shield gives me quite a decent speed and protection. Some other shows aren't available when other vpn programs had been connected but Hotspot Shield works awesome on hulu.com etc. I highly recommend it.

Ich wohne in Deutschland, aber ich bekomme leider immer diese GEMA Sperre wenn ich bestimmte Videos schauen will. Endlich habe ich die Lösung gefunden, die auch sehr einfach und effektiv ist! HotSpot Shield beeinflusst die Performance meines Rechners nicht und funktioniert einwandfrei. Danke HotSpot Shield!

If you want to access the Internet securely no matter where you are in the world, this is the easiest VPN to use. Hotspot Shield makes me feel much better when I'm traveling in places that might monitor or censor the Internet and lets me keep up with my favorite shows and clips via sites like Hulu and Netflix. It's free version is great and premium (which I use personally) even better. I don't think any traveler should go anywhere without Hotspot Shield

With identity theft on the rise and the ability to access public WiFi becoming ever easier, it's more and more important to secure internet connections. Hotspot Shield is so easy to use, can be installed on virtually any device and gives me complete peace of mind that I'm maintaining a private and secure browsing experience. I've been using it for several months now on my phone and on my laptop when I travel. Airports and hotels are notorious for packet sniffers so I feel A LOT safer now using Hotspot Shield.

I go often abroad for work and with Hotspotshield I can access BBC videos also in the USA. Plus I have discovered it also protects me from malware! :) I would definitely recommend it.

Wow! I hope you know that Hotspot Shield is a lifesaver! Want to know why and how? I was just researching online and trying to find the best solution for me. I went through many trial VPNs, but couldn’t find one that worked for me. I started to follow the ratings and started from 1 and suddenly stopped at 6 as hotspot shield, my life saver was there at #6. In short, i installed Hotspot Shield VPN and was able to access facebook and youtube in less than 1 minute. I was surprised that I found a VPN that worked! Unlike the other VPNs I tried, Hotspot Shield had unlimited bandwidth and the ability to choose 4 different virtual locations (US, UK, Australia, Japan). I’m not sure why Hotspot Shield VPN was rated #6, but I’m pretty sure should be high compared to others. It is generally a popular VPN as it allows you to secure your connection. Here are my pros and cons: Pros Secure connection Able to go on unrestricted US sites Easy installation Good streaming Unlimited data transfer Cons Intrusive advertising Slow surfing In my opinion, Hotspot Shield is the #1 VPN for me & I’m spreading the word. Trust me you will be shielded.

As a traveling consulting, working across many continents, I can no longer survive without Hotspotshield... You would be surprised how many websites are either banned or heavily corrupted in many countries. Hotspotshield completely eliminates the effects of the geographic location I am in when using the internet and makes me feel like I'm at the comfort of my own home. Not having to worry about my computer getting bombarded with viruses and spam is also a great plus. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone.

Hotspot Shield is a neat little piece of software that's transformed the way I see public WiFi networks. As an avid traveler, Hotspot Shield has saved me tons of money and made me feel secure while doing it. Great product!

I frequently travel and use Hotspot Shield to get access to US-only streaming web-content and news. Facebook occasionally depending if it's blocked or not. Highly recommend it!

Hotspot Shield is simply a must have app for travelers. Here are the reasons why I use Hotspot Shield when I travel: 1) It encrypts my Internet communications, thereby, protecting my privacy and preventing hackers from stealing my data when using public WiFi. 2) It enables me to unblock any website that is otherwise blocked by the local ISP. 3) It protects my device from malware websites 4) It compresses data so I save money on bandwidth cost for my iPhone device There's a free version, but I don't like to see the ads. So I use the Elite version, which costs me only a few months a month.

Very easy to install and use, and now I am able to watch US TV shows in the UK. Hotspot Shield also provides peace of mind when connecting to public WiFi hot-spots as all traffic is encrypted and it blocks over 3.5 million malware websites before they can compromise your computer. Furthermore unlike other VPN services there are no bandwidth restrictions. Because of this I would definitely recommend Hotspot Shield.

It really sucks that we do not have Netflix over here, but with Hotspot Shield I can stil access everything I want. Great tool, wouldn't want to live without it anymore

Tuck 21 September 2013, 01:23

I liked it because it's FREE. Then I found I can pay to access UK sites and remove the ads on top of the screen. Awesome choice! If you don't mind ads and OK just US IPs, free may be good. Otherwise, it's good value to upgrade.

I've been looking around for a really good VPN that I don't have to spend money on. I found Hotspot Shield through a Google search and I can say I'm very pleased with it. There's a paid version that doesn't have ads and has extra malware protection, but the frugal person that I am...I think I'll stick to free :). Highly recommend this app to everyone

Hotspot Shield provides a secure connection and an IP address in one of their server locations. That's all you need to access content in America while abroad. Sometimes, I need to reconnect a couple of times - would have given 5 stars otherwise.

I've been using Hotspot Shield for a little over a year now and never had a problem with it. I had initially subscribed to their service to get access to Netflix and Pandora since I frequently travel abroad. After I got the service, I found out that it also secures my connection at unsecured public WiFi networks, which was a bonus benefit for a frequent traveler as myself. The speeds are quite fast and I'm able to watch movies on Netflix without any slow down. It's probably the best VPN out there.
