Hotspot shield has been the best VPN I've used. Not only that but the customer service is on point. The chat got disconnected but the agent followed up via email to make sure I was ok. I'll continue to use their service.

It does its job perfectly as a VPN

It does its job perfectly as a VPN, the support is out of this world. Have helped me twice fix my account, which was bugged due to Dashlane not recognizing my Premium membership, fast replies, straight to the point, very polite. The VPN is easy to use too!
