Hotspot Shield is a popular VPN service with over 650 million users and multiple servers in 55+ countries.
In fact, the website claims it is the #1 grossing app for productivity in the US App Store. (When we checked the App Store source, it actually indicated #8, which is still an impressive ranking.)
One of the features that make Hotspot Shield special is its unique Catapult Hydra protocol,

So good
Best for BBC Iplayer, channel 4, channel 5, zdf, orf.
Everything is better than 2018, the chat service is so nice, I had some problems, they solved the problems for me. The helping center is so kind, I was used to be a member of Astrill VPN and they were very aggressive, very bad one, I must pay more for private IP for an UK country.(exclude from yearly package 99 USD)
So impress, The price is reasonable and friendly.

Not Worth the Headaches
I tried this. Kept getting blocked d/t usage. Even after paying for the "Elite" service I would be blocked & receive a notice that "You have used up your bandwidth. Please buy more or upgrade" & this CONTINUED after I had paid for 2 YEARS of "Elite" service. It was also telling me my subscription had "expired" even tho I had had the service for less than a month. Repeated emails to support got me canned answers to change my password (??). Even after changing it 6 times in a matter of an hour I STILL could not get my "Elite" account to work. Finally did get an answer from a "live" person (I think) who was able to do nothing except keep telling me to change my password. After a week of trying to get help, I gave up and asked for a refund. ExpressVPN is SO much easier.....don't even waste your time here on a FREE account.

Reliable proxies will provide you with optimum security and anonymity with a fast, reliable internet connection. Most premium services that we recommend, such as ExpressVPN, will do just that. OverPlay VPN has more than 100 server locations with over 12,000 IP addresses available, which makes it a true contender for reliable and fast proxy services.
The service provides users several VPN connec

Versatile and flexible, but poor technical support
I use several different devices, both for work and play, and with Overplay I can use my computer, my smartphone and my tablet with the same VPN connection at the same time. Tech support, though, needs to improve, and I think a live chat support would make quite a difference.

Awful
Poor technical support. No refund after canceling. Unfortunately, I have to give one star. Subscribed for a month, then cancelled on their site after having many problems connecting. Didn’t get a refund , and after contacting them , they said none would be issued. Stay well away from Overplay. Many of my expat friends had the same problem . Ripoff
