What is my IP address? An IP address is a number assigned to your computer or other internet-connected device at the time you connect to the internet. IP addresses are used to route data between computers on the internet.
Your IP address is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you. We use IP addresses to determine the location of your internet-connected device. It is possible to use IP addresses to identify you, but only if you connect to the internet through a proxy server or virtual private network (VPN) service.
What is a proxy server? A proxy is a server that acts as a middleman. You connect to this server instead of the website you want to reach. All your requests to this server are sent to the website you want to reach. Your browser is configured to send all its requests to this server.
Your browser is configured to use a proxy server to reach certain websites. Hotspot Shield is an internet proxy server, which means that all of your requests to a website are sent to Hotspot Shield.
Hotspot Shield is a proxy server but it does not store, share, or sell any of the information you send to it. It only acts as a proxy, which means that it routes your internet requests.
What is a VPN? A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that creates a private connection between two or more computers or devices. Any information sent and received through a VPN is encrypted and not visible to anyone else.
Hotspot Shield is not a VPN. Hotspot Shield does not store or share any of your data.
You can use a VPN to connect to the internet and access a website that is restricted to users in certain countries or regions (IP addresses). A VPN also allows you to connect to the internet from several locations at the same time.
