  Pros

  Use their virtual locations to gain access to content restricted in certain countries. I'm currently using the app to watch the Cricket World Cup. I can't live stream from US for free without Hotspot Shield.

  Pros

  Allows me to watch shows when I'm traveling or get to sites that are censored in various countries.

  Cons

  It can be slow depending on connection sometimes, not really the products fault, but more so my internet connection. Also it was confusing at first to know if I was signed in or not, saying I was a free member when I wasn't. They should make this more clear for new users.

  Summary

  Overall, the product seems to keep getting better with each release and allows people to access the internet how it should - open and free!

• One of my favorite apps

  KiarooMarch 4, 2015

  Pros

  Use it every time I connect to public wifi.... that is to say a lot. Now I feel totally secure when checking my fav sites while on the go. It's crazy how easy it is now to steal someone's data on unsecured wifi networks so with this app, my worries are gone! I also use it to prevent any entities from tracking me online. Also it can be very useful when you have to travel outside US. Inside the app I was able to select a US ip address while being abroad so I could access my US Netflix account ;)

  Cons

  I upgraded to the Elite version to get rid of ads though it's not a big deal as the paid version cost me barely nothing (about $30 bucks).

  Summary

  Great and cheap app to keep your data private and access geo-blocked sites.

• big question

  Ali3hFebruary 23, 2014

  Pros

  I don't know why ?! but it doesn't work I installed it on HTC HD2

  Cons

  I open the app and I tap on "Protect your connection" but it doesn't turn on and this is a big question for me because one of my friends who has installed this app like this and said it works great but I don't know why it doesn't work on my device

  Pros

  Install and set up was easy. My tests show that it really is securing my Wifi signal. Sort of idiot proof with little user input available. No problems making telephone calls with Skype. Only took maybe 5 seconds to connect to the VPN the 3 times I tried it.

  Cons

  Slows down the internet connection somewhat while browsing. I had to turn off image compression to load and use the youtube app. Needs a little more user settings, the image compression defaults to medium every time I turn protection off and back on.

  Summary

  I like the added security and will use the product on free mode for now. I would like to know more about this VPN and if someone in the back room has access to my online activities. Using this while connected to a 4G hotspot router via wifi, Android 2.3.4 and cheap Net10 LG phone.
