How do I cancel my Hotspot Shield subscription?

Can Hotspot Shield be trusted?

Hotspot Shield is undoubtedly the most known of the software and virtual private network apps out there.

It provides the cheapest VPN service and is a popular choice for many users. The software does offer a free option but, considering the price, I'd advise you to either stick with the free version or go for the fully fledged paid version instead. The software claims to be able to mask your identity. Although it's difficult to comment on the software's ability to mask its client's identity, Hotspot Shield has earned a negative reputation when it comes to privacy. The fact that the software uses a peer-to-peer method doesn't help it either. Peer-to-peer networks are notoriously insecure and have been known to share client IP addresses with others. If this is a worrying factor for you, it might best to look elsewhere.

However, despite the software being known for its use of peer-to-peer technology, the latest versions do claim to prevent IP address leaks and is said to also block spamming. Hotspot Shield still uses the clientless VPN model in which no user device or endpoint is involved, so it is important to remember that security features do not include any encryption, end-to-end communications and VPN servers are not involved in the network operations. With all of this in mind, I'd still give Hotspot Shield a go if you just want to experience a cheap VPN service.

Hotspot Shield Review. Overview. If you're looking for a cheap yet capable VPN application, it doesn't get much cheaper than Hotspot Shield. In fact, at 9.95 per month, it's very hard to beat the price of Hotspot Shield for VPN. It isn't often that you'll find the cheapest VPN plan with such decent speeds and a client interface that would rival those of paid VPN services. Although it's difficult to assess the security of Hotspot Shield and how safe its connection encryption protocol is, at the very least it's unlikely that it will leak your IP address like many other software-based VPN apps. However, don't expect to get the same level of security or speed as with paid VPN providers.
