However, it has additional features that are specially customized for browsing but still lacks a kill switch as well as IP leak protection. The Hotspot Shield VPN browser extension looks precisely like that of the desktop and mobile versions. It takes less than 5 seconds to connect to any server across the world – the vice versa is the same.

The app worked seamlessly as expected throughout every stage of our test including at startup, login, connecting, and server switching.

We didn’t get any issues noteworthy with the VPN’s features and utilities. We’d love to see Hotspot Shield make improvements in terms of features and utilities they offer in the coming days. You will only get basic features such as a kill switch and an IP leak protector as well. Unfortunately, Hotspot Shield doesn’t offer as many features as expected an area where we expected them to excel. You are also free to select the country you wish to connect to – by clicking on the drop-down menu next to the name of the current server location. Once you log in to the app, it’ll automatically connect to the best and fastest server available – depending on your actual location. When you meet the new version of the Hotspot Shield desktop client for the first time, it’ll give you a desirable and straightforward impression. While we go through our strict evaluation criteria, we first look at the simplicity of a provider’s application and if anyone can operate it without any problem.īelow, users can see what the Hotspot Shield application looks like on several platforms.

Support is available for premium users only.
