Is Hotspot Shield no longer free?

(Updated: We did it)

Updated: July 20th, 2023. If you still don't know about Hotspot Shield, here's our story on how it grew to become an Internet-wide phenomenon, as well as its new legal wrangles with the United States government. For a period in recent years, using Tor to connect to the outside internet was considered illegal. With a new legal stance on the subject and the imminent arrival of the next release of Tor browser, it seems like the time is right for another story about Hotspot Shield - the VPN we mentioned earlier which is currently making a comeback in popularity after a short but very notable break.

Hotspot Shield and 'legal' connections. In 2023, Hotspot Shield (now just a subsidiary of AnchorFree) stopped offering free internet service (not completely at least, it continued to let you use free traffic for websites you visit on their network). But if you wanted to use their hotspot in countries where it was legal, you could - if you paid the monthly subscription.

After many users questioned how they should be able to do this, even though the company insisted they were in compliance with the law, AnchorFree said that it had always meant to keep the service legal but that it had been misinformed by its legal advisers (who later came to agree with AnchorFree). But that was not good enough for some countries, including the United States. This year, American ISPs were warned against doing business with HotSpot Shield over concerns about legality, and as part of a settlement the company was forced to pay a fine to the states it had been targeted, and was forced to make sure all Hotspot Shield subscribers were also protected by anti-monitoring tools.

Now that this mess is over, AnchorFree claims that Hotspot Shield can come out of exile again, and indeed the last big milestone on this journey to freedom was only days ago.
