The Properties option offers detailed information about your connection such as allocated IP address, amount of incoming and outgoing data and how long you have been connected. Once the program is installed, it turns to green when it indicates the browser and system are connected. The best Wi-Fi security is provided with virtual private network (VPN) created between the PC or other device and the Internet gateway.Īmong the best things about Hotspot is its cutting-edge Wi-Fi detection and protection. Users who inadvertently connect with the internet in public hotspots like hotels, restaurants and airports, expose their PCs and network to the whims of snoopers or ISP’s and put themselves at risk of having their online identity, passwords, credit card information or other sensitive data stolen or their computer compromised. The application acts as a shield to secure your IP address by providing users with new IP address hosted by Anchor Free, allowing anonymous web surfing. There are two versions of the app currently available, one free of charge VPN, and a paid for product Hotspot Shield Elite which is slightly richer in options including built-in malware protection.
It incorporates strong HTTPS technology to secure web browsing sessions, online shopping information and protects your online personal information from snoopers, hackers and ISP’s. Hotspot Shield is the world’s most trusted Internet connection protector with over 10 million active users.
