Bottom line: "Using a VPN means extra security at the price of a slower experience browsing the Web, but AnchorFree HotSpot Shield shows less of a performance impact than others. The software is available for Android, iOS, Kindle, Mac and Windows.Īlthough CNET hasn't reviewed HotSpot Shield in several years, PCMag recently covered Elite.
That's particularly helpful if you want to access, say, Hulu or Netflix in other countries, though you may run into issues with the latter.Īnyway, this subscription allows for up to five devices, all of which can use Elite simultaneously. With Elite, you get freedom from ads and access to 20 servers (aka virtual locations) in Australia, China, India, Mexico and many more locales. But it's ad-supported, which can get annoying, and limited to just one server. Let me pause right here to note that AnchorFree offers a free version of Hotspot Shield, which may prove more than sufficient. Regular price for a single year of the service: $29.95.

In the past I've shared various VPN deals, but nearly all of them were from little-known developers. The Android version of Hotspot Shield Elite features a handy app-lock feature for an added layer of security. See, just as antivirus software is crucial for protecting yourself against malware, so is a virtual private network (VPN) crucial for keeping hackers away when you connect to public hotspots. Well, as excited as it's possible to be about something as mundane as mobile security.
