Hotspot ShieldReviews of hotspotshield.com

you cant delete your account, there is no info on the website regarding this mater, and if contact them they say you don't have a premium account so they don't answer. overall shady company.

It looks great, but is pretty expensive as for a VPN. Still, it works.

hotspot leads you to believe that you can cancel your subscription at any time but if you want to cancel your credit card windows subscription I have yet to discover a way after a 3hr online search .

I dont know how good of a VPN it is, but its not free as promised on the website.

For me, using the service from Chumphon, Thailand, is a joke. The speeds for any and all VPN locations is too slow to stream anything. Sure, if you want to read a text website, it would work. But since when are text websites using geolocation to block viewership? Since never. The real service is video streaming, and hotspotshield is just too slow to provide this. I always know when Hotspotshield accidentally turns itself on, because none of my websites load. It's pathetic really. I paid for 1 year, and can't use this 'service'. I mainly wanted to use it to watch TV while abroad (abc.com etc) It also does work ok with torrents, where the slowdown is not as noticeable, though I barely use torrents myself. I have a great wired Internet, 50 Mbs download, 20 upload, and it is exactly that when I test my speed. Doing a speed test when hotspot shield is on is a joke (again), the speedtest reports way lower speeds than even shown on hotspotshield interface (which are dismal at best). Don't buy it, unless all you need is to browse the web with no video/audio, or for torrenting. Plus, if you get a yearly subscription you'll still be getting ads, namely their advertisements for a 'lifetime subscription'. Thanx, I'll pass.

pretty appalled at the news, but not particularly surprised. Free vpns are known for sharing user info.

I never liked this VPN provider and after this news, i hope they will lose more and more customers! FTC Complaint Alleges Hotspot Shield Collects User Data! The VPN was also found to inject JavaScript codes using iframes for advertising and tracking purposes

How you could trust VPN provider which sells your activities to advertisers
