Free Hotspot Shield VPN for Google ChromeThere is also a great extension for Google Chrome which works just as good as the program. The paid Elite subscription can be shared on multiple devices (e.g. It’s multi-platform). 👤 2.8 million users ⭐ 4.2/5. Hotspot Shield VPN Free Extension for Google ChromeHotspot Shield VPN is being known as the fastest VPN on the market and we are about to find out in our comprehensive review which includes Internet speed test.In order to gain better performance, Hotspot Shield dropped the industry standard VPN protocols IPSec and OpenVPN in order to replace it with their own protocol called Catapult Hydra. There are significant benefits in connection speeds.

Catapult Hydra is also being used by other security companies like McAfee, BitDefender, Cheetah Mobile, and many others. The major disadvantage is using only the 128-bit AES data encryption and HMAC message authentication. Other VPNs are mostly using the 256-bit AES encryption which is more secure.From the features point of view, Hotspot Shield VPN offers quite a standard set which includes Kill Switch, IP Leak Protection, and Auto-Connect on unsafe Wi-Fis. See the at the end of our review.As we already mentioned at the beginning of this review, Hotspot Shield VPN is completely free but has a 500MB cap on the data transfer. To use it you only need to create an account with your e-mail. If 500MB is not enough for you, you need to upgrade to a paid plan called Elite. The Elite plan starts at $12.99 per month, but you can save if you purchase a full year in advance for $71.88 (e.g.

$5.99 monthly). Or get the unlimited license for $119.99 which is a pretty good deal.Overall Hotspot Shield is a great VPN product with a beautiful user interface and excellent connections speeds. It’s free, but the data limit is very small, so if you are serious about it, go with the Elite plan.The biggest question for many of you is should I use Hotspot Shield or? Well, both are free with the same data quota, but we like Hotspot much better due to its interface and speeds, TunnelBear can be sometimes a bit slower. On the other hand, TunnelBear offers 21 server locations while Hotspot Shield only one (in the United States). Hotspot Shield Free DownloadOne of the best things about Hotspot Shield VPN is that you can download and use it completely for free.

The only difference compared to a paid product is the data limit (500MB per month).Free with a monthly data limitUsing the product requires only simple registration (e-mail) and you don’t need to enter any payment details or personal information. Hotspot Shield Free vs. Elite Comparison – What are the Key Differences?There are quite a few differences between the Free and Elite version of Hotspot Shield VPN. Of course, the biggest one is the unlimited bandwidth on Elite, but what are the others? With the Free plan, you may occasionally get to see third-party ads while browsing the Internet and you don’t get dedicated customer support.

Another major difference is the variety of server locations, with Free you can only connect to the United States while with Elite you can choose from another 25 countries around the world.With Elite you will also get cloud-based malware protection which prevents you from accessing malicious sites or downloading harmful files (please note it’s not a replacement for your desktop antivirus program).In terms of performance and speeds, it’s practically the same. On the client, there are no extra features with the Elite plan.If you would like to try the Elite plan before you pay, go with the (Credit Card required).

Just be sure to cancel the subscription before it expires, otherwise, you will pay a regular monthly fee ($12.99).

User Interface – Is Hotspot Shield easy to use?YES! Hotspot Shield is the smoothest and slickest VPN product we have tested so far and most likely on the whole VPN market. Everything feels just right from the download, install and first use experience. I am pretty sure even my grandmother would know how to use it.Once you start the app it will automatically connect to a closest (or your last chosen) VPN server. If you disconnect, there will be a big button to start a connection. Server Locations & Countries – Where you can connect?We already know Hotspot Shield is a beautiful product, but how many VPN locations it offers?

Unfortunately, not many. Similarly, as, you can choose only from 26 countries to connect. That’s a very few if you consider most of the premium products are offering 50+.This is the cost of running a freemium product.

While having many users, probably much more than the premium only VPNs, you still need to maintain the costly infrastructure. And that’s why the amount of servers with free VPNs is always quite limited. Hotspot Shield Elite Server LocationsThe full list of locations includes (Elite plan only; Free plan offers only the US):. Africa – none. Asia Pacific – Australia; New Zealand; South Korea; Taiwan; Hong Kong; Japan; China. Europe – United Kingdom; Netherlands; Germany; France; Sweden; Spain; Ireland; Czech Republic; Romania; Russia; Ukraine. India – India.

Middle East – Israel; Turkey; Pakistan. North America – United States; Canada; Mexico. South America – BrazilIt’s also not possible to chose or know the city to which you are connected. Does Hotspot Shield Support YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, Amazon Prime, & BBC iPlayer?During our testing, Hotspot Shield worked well with YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, Amazon Prime, Google, and Facebook. Hotspot Shield Doesn’t Work with BBC iPlayerHowever, as with almost every VPN we have tested, it didn’t work with BBC iPlayer which requires a UK location.

It looks like BBC iPlayer is automatically blocking nearly all VPN accesses. Performance & Internet Connection Speed TestHotspot Shield VPN is definitely one of the fastest products we have been testing. Not just the user interface and connection to the server is super fast, also the infrastructure is well balanced with minor differences.The benchmark download speed was roughly 28 Mbps, similar speeds were achieved in all locations except Australia and Brazil.

But even these were pretty fast and totally usable for a regular browsing or streaming.

The major slow down was measured in the US and Australia.As with basically all VPN products, the ping in other countries was just too high and definitely not for any kind of gaming experience. Submitting a Ticket to Hotspot Shield Customer CareSubmitting a support ticket is quite a struggle due to the annoying suggestions which takes almost half of the screen and can’t be disabled.
