Review of Hotspot Shield VPN

Hotspot Shield VPN is an application that does the job of keeping your online identity hard to identify. It does this task by creating an encrypted tunnel between your mobile device and the remote server used during the process. This entire action allows us to hide the actual IP address from prying eyes. Use it to bypass Internet censorship, circumvent restrictions based on location, protect your identity while online, preventing Internet Service Providers from tracking your activity, block hackers from stealing data, obtain a better latency inside games, and more.

Connect to many locations

This service is quite popular because it has a network of thousands of servers located in various territories to provide good speeds for users. No matter where we use this application, we can take advantage of its capable network to experience the Internet in a better fashion. According to stats listed on the Play Store, this package has collected over 100 million installs since its launch day. Plus, its good rating shows how many people are happy with the services provided by the app.

Easy to use tool

As soon as we install and launch the software, we notice a clean and modern user interface where initiating a VPN connection is a straightforward process. The next step is picking a specific country as the new identity or leave it on automatic selection. For those looking to use this app for watching location-restricted content, remember to choose the correct country. For example, if a website only allows access to Polish users, there's no other option but to pick a server within that nation.

The Auto feature calculates the best available option depending on the user's current location. Low latency and fast speeds are the priority in this mode. Do you have buffering issues while watching videos on YouTube and streaming movies and TV shows on Netflix and other similar platforms? If the answer is yes, please try the Streaming connection mode to solve the problem. Plus, the interface also gives us access to a Gaming mode to enjoy Fortnite, Roblox, and other popular games without lag. At the moment, Hotspot Shield VPN has servers in 115 virtual locations, including countries like Australia, India, Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Turkey, Japan, and more.

Top-notch encryption for a superior protection

Concerning security, Hotspot Shield uses encryption for the traffic generated to offer superior protection for the user's identity. The AES 256-bit encryption is a technology that many similar services take advantage of to maintain privacy. Thanks to a continuous change of encryption keys, it's very challenging for someone to compromise our VPN sessions. If you love downloading files through the torrent protocol, consider using a tool like this because it supports P2P file-sharing without revealing your actual IP address.

This service promises to no keep any logs of its users and the traffic generated by them. What does this mean? Well, there's no way for people with bad intentions to know about your activity. Using this free application, users can browse the Internet while having their true identity hidden and their location changed. Besides, inside the main interface, we can see how much traffic we have generated through the VPN tunnel.
