Hotspot Shield VPN iPhone

VPN app for iPhone to browse the Internet anonymously and privately

As of lately, online anonymity and privacy have become very important, even more after the different cases of online webs and services that have been compromised, exposing the data of their users, which were sometimes used to extort them. That's why it's becoming increasingly important to take certain measures. A decent antivirus is important to protect yourself against malware but to keep your privacy and anonymity safe, the best thing you can do is download an application of the likes of Hotspot Shield VPN for iOS.

What is Hotspot Shield VPN, how does it work and what's it for?

It's an effective tool to protect our privacy. This app, which was already available for Windows PC and Mac, offers us a safe and trustworthy connection by means of an encrypted channel. It masks the user's IP whilst it also spoofs it so that the websites visited can only see a fake address.

These are the main features of this mobile application:

• Provide an anonymous browsing experience, hiding the user's identity and location to trackers.
• Avoid geographical restrictions or web pages blocked due to censorship, the protection of copyrights or any other reasons.
• Safe access to public WiFi networks without exposing any data.
• Bandwidth compression to speed up the browsing experience and save on our data plan.

Hotspot Shield: the VPN solution for iPhone, if you're worried about your privacy.

To be able to use this application, you only have to enable the browsing through a proxy and choose any of the possible locations available. You can pretend you're accessing the Internet from different countries: the UK, Japan, France, USA, China...

But, can a VPN app like this one be downloaded for free?

In the case of Hotspot Shield, the answer is yes because it offers us two versions. On the one hand, there's a freemium version with which you can use the majority of its functions but not all of them, and you'll also have to put up with a few adverts. However, there's also an Elite function that you have to pay for to be able to use all its features. You can try out this edition for 7 days.
