I tested both the Netherlands and UK from the UK test server in London. I tested the US server using a New York test server on. Connection speeds were checked without the VPN connected first, to get base level results (for the UK and US). The speed tests were performed from the UK, using a London server on. The speed tests for this review were undertaken using Hotspot Shield premium. Make no mistake - Hotspot Shield is fast. With servers in over 80 countries, Hotspot Shield PremiumВ is undoubtedly a great VPN for unblocking content around the globe.

With a Hotspot Shield Premium subscription, you get: (We have included a small review of the free plan at the bottom of this review). The free version is a limited version of the same service in which users may only connect to the US server. In this review, we will concentrate on the PremiumВ version of Hotspot Shield (the paid version). Not supporting OpenVPN, we had to test Hotspot Shield Elite differently to other providers but the speeds we got were essentially 75% of our baseline speeds.very impressive! With these speeds, and a focus on streaming, it makes Hotspot Shield Premium a great option for those wanting to access streaming services like US Netflix.

This is a fast VPN that is considered better for unblocking than for privacy. For example, it was the main VPN used during the Arab Spring protests. The vast majority of those consumers use the free version, and there can be no doubt that Hotspot Shield has been an invaluable tool for people living in places suffering from website blackouts. In total, more than 600 million users around the globe have installed the VPN showing just how popular this product is on the global stage. Since then, its service has been split into two products: a free service, and a premium VPN called Hotspot Shield Premium. AnchorFree (based in California) first released the US-based VPN service Hotspot Shield as a free Virtual Private Network (VPN) in 2008.
