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!

I like everything about it

I like everything about it. From fast and fast access to anywhere in the world, to teamwork in case of problems. Recently there was a problem and the app stopped working. I created a request and since then, almost every day I was written from customer support team with requests to check settings, configurations, access to different locations. And in the end we managed to fix everything! Huge thanks to the HotspotShield team for their reverent treatment of their product and users. And a ...
