I despise when companies remove critical functionality and leave customers behind. Hotspotshield no longer supports openvpn router setups and has lost me and EVERYONE I know as a customer. If they steal functionality you paid for once, they will do it again. They will never again receive money from me. UPDATE: They have been harassing me via email after reading this review apologizing but not fixing anything - as you can see by their incredibly weak response. They are even worse than I thought. Fo NOT get involved with them in any way.
