Hotspot shield?

Go to solution Solved by LinusTech,

Hotspot has an elite trial that is not ad-supported.

 

The ad supported version is free in general.

 

I'm using elite right now and I really like it, but as suggested before try the elite trial before you buy.

I was wondering if someone could give me the like to download the test version and also where I could buy it after I test it.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

Intended use:

Hotspot has a free trial, but is plagued with adverts, If it's websites you want to unblock then, If your computers have chrome or firefox then you'll want to install Hola! Which will unblock sites for you (Allows me to use the semi-decent US netflix)

Blocked sites isn't really the biggest problem. It is my isp that is really pissing me off. I just want to know if this will help me get around my isp.

I use privitizeVPN for that kind of stuff, I suggest you try it, it's easy and free. http://privitize.com/
