In today’s technological world, privacy is a big question mark. Every time you are on the internet, there is a major risk of security breaches as well as data breaches. Websites can track you and use your information for various purposes. That’s where Hotspot Shield comes in to save the day for you.

Hotspot Shield is a VPN service/application that allows you to go anonymous when browsing the internet. A VPN, or a Virtual Private Network, is a way to connect to a remote server or multiple remote servers and use them to browse the internet rather than using your IP. This helps in concealing your identity as well as securing your network.

When it comes to Hotspot Shield, it is one of the most popular VPNs out there, and it has earned that title for a reason. It is one of the most reliable VPN services out there, which you can get for free. For free, you are limited to 500 MB of data usage every day, but if you browse their premium plans, you will find affordable options there as well. The premium version also comes with better speed and bandwidth.

The specialty of Hotspot Shield relies upon its reliable services, ease of use, high-end encryption to keep everything safe and secure for you, and fast speeds for your internet. A lot of VPN services choke your network, hence resulting in slow network speed, but Hotspot Shield does not.

Hotspot Shield allows you to select a server based on your locational requirements. For example, if you want to use Netflix in a different region, it will allow you to select a server from the location of that region. It makes it incredibly easy to simply click on the “Connect to VPN” button and get started. A single account can be used on up to 5 devices. If you buy the premium, you can use it on your Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices.

In conclusion, Hotspot Shield is the VPN service to choose, especially if you can pay for the premium version, as the 500MB limit per day on the free version will probably not be enough for most users out there. It cannot be faulted, though, as the simple yet modern interface with a built-in speed tester and other useful features makes the Hotspot Shield a fantastic VPN option. The tool also comes with a "kill switch", which instantly disconnects the Windows PC from the web.
