Malicious Chrome extension
After using the Chrome extension for a couple of weeks, I suddenly got a pop-up warning from Chrome, saying: "this extension has taken control of your proxy settings, which means it can change, break, or eavesdrop on anything you do online". Uninstalled immediately.

Might damage hardware
I got a message that i was running out of disk space, so i investigatedJust saw, that a log file in this app was over 170 GB.When i tried deleting it, it would just recreate itself constantly writing massive amounts of data to my SSD each second (possibly damaging it).I'm sure this is not intended, but never downloading again.

great speed
great transfer speed when using vpn, where as other vpns I have used tends to slower the transfer rate/Internet speed. They should increase the number of free servers.

Problem with free version
I got the free version and tried to connect to Canadian netflix with it. Not only did netflix pick up on it and prevent me from watching anything, but I was also blocked out from every website other than outlook web app. It came up with "(website name) unexpectedly closed the connection." The issue was immediately resolved when I removed and uninstalled Hotspot Shield

Worked for 2 months, then totally useless
After a couple of months, the app disappeared all of a sudden from my PC after I went on vacation for two weeks. I have uninstalled and reinstalled different versions of it, depending on whoever is answering my requests for service/help, and nothing works. The servers get stuck in one location, when it did work about 10 days for one day. All of a sudden Pango is asking for my login credentials; it never did before. Now I am totally locked out of my account and Pango Pango has three years ...
