Hotspot Shield ReviewWorks - Version: 0.942-2, 9/17/2009 06:37PM PST

For me hotspot shield works fine, especially being free.

Steve Gibson has a review of it on the podcast Security Now, episode 212. He doesn't like it because they insert code into your VPN to serve you ads.

Hotspot Shield ReviewHijacks google searches - Version: 0.942-2, 9/4/2009 03:52AM PST

Not only does it not give me a good email address in the US (for viewing Hulu.com) but it hijacks all my searches on Google.com and sends them to Ask.com instead. NOT COOL, I don't know what else is being hijacked because I deleted it straight away.

Hotspot Shield ReviewNothing for nothing - Version: 0.942-2, 12/29/2008 11:02AM PST

Ok, for as far as I can tell this product works fine. I run 10.4 on a Macbook Pro. Installation was easy, and activating it is painless.

However, the Anchorfree company makes its bread and butter from putting annoying banner ads on every web page you visit. Darn annoying. I'll find a for-pay vpn service.
