you to secure your connection while surfing
WiFi hotspots and to access sites not
normally available outside of the USA, like
Hulu and Pandora .
What can you do with HotSpot Shield?
To secure your internet connection, Hotspot
Shield creates a Virtual Private Network (a
secure connection, usually abbreviated to
VPN) between your computer and the
Hotspot Shield developer's website,
Anchorfree, based in the USA. This
connection makes websites think that you are
based in the US.
The major reason why users are flocking to
Hotspot Shield is because it allows you to
view US websites that are usually restricted
to people who don't live there. This is
particularly useful for video sites such as
Hulu or region-restricted restricted videos on
YouTube.
Hotspot Shield now includes malware
protection meaning that while using it, you
shouldn't get infected by anything that may
damage your system.
Is it easy to use?
Everything is done in an extra tab open in
your browser, so there's no need to configure
anything. A green and red shield in your
system tray indicates when Hotspot Shield is
or is not connected. The VPN is encrypted
with 128 bit SSL encryption so you can surf
safely without worrying about others
intercepting your data.
Does it work?
Hotspot Shield generally works very well. It is
ad-supported, however, and be warned that it
tries to install a toolbar, although you can
opt out of this. If you've got Expat Shield
installed, you'll also need to remove it before
installing Hotspot Shield. Bear in mind that
surfing with Hotspot Shield is noticeably
slower than normal, but it's fine for streaming
video from video sites such as Hulu.

other types of blocked and banned sites,

Conclusion
Hotspot Shield is easy to install and a useful
way of accessing sites and protecting your
privacy.
