"Low-cost iPhone VPN safeguards and saves money"
Version: Hotspot Shield VPN 1.0.1
Pros
Recognizes when you launch an app and need VPN.
Compresses images so you save on bandwidth and speeds up page loads
Hides your IP and encrypts your app and browser traffic
Unlimited bandwidth--most other iPhone apps are pay as you goCons
If you WANT your location to be known for certain apps that require your location to work, you will have to turn it off and turn it back on again.
Summary
Can't go wrong for .99 a month. In fact, if you are like me and don't have all you can eat data plan, this app will more than pay for itself just with the image compression.
