Hotspot Shield

[Jaybird]

I just installed Hotspot Shield for the first time and this popped up.

 

"The Hostpot Shield Control Panel is a javascript/Ajax application which cannot run unless javascript is supported and enabled in the browser."

 

Why is it not working properly and how can I resolve this issue so that it will work properly?

They wrote their control panel for a security/privacy solution in Java?

Unfortunately not, I use PrivateInternetAccess.

 

Hope someone solves it though, should get a response on here soon enough, in the meantime though have you tried emailing them or opening a support ticket?

I am only in my first week of use and haven't tested all the servers available yet for latency/speed.

 

I have a 100Mb line, and it isn't able to saturate it most of the time and I tend to cap out at around 10MB/s and it often drops below, it's also important to not that I am in UK and use servers in London and Netherlands, the USA side of things is liable to be different.

from the time this was build it looks like vyprvpn might even have a better offer.

I used to use Vypr, it's the fastest but they are among the worst for privacy, have a google around to find stories of people being sold out/still getting DMCA notices from torrenting etc despite using their VPN.

They log your traffic, PIA does not that's why I use them seeing as the whole point of a VPN is privacy even if you do nothing illegal.
