Publisher's description of Hotspot Shield
From AnchorFree:Hotspot Shield is a freeware which ensures anonymous and censor-free internet usage. With Hotspot Shield you can even access blocked websites. For example: Skype is blocked in certain parts of the world. With Hotspot Shield, anyone can access Skype (and any other site they choose). The free software ensures censor-free internet usage by encrypting all communications to and from your computer to protect you from online spying. While advertising supported, HotSpot Shield is is not an invasive adware or pervasive spyware application.
Version 1.07 supports optional update offers, when available.

"s-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w"
Pros: lets me watch hulu outside of us
Cons: s-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w
I could fly to the US faster than this vpn allows me to watch a 60 minute show.Summary: probably a waste of time. shame, too, because if it wasn't so ridiculously slow, it would actually provide a great value.

Version: Hotspot Shield 1.07
"Needed service, but no x64 support yet"
Pros: A service that everyone needs and it's free.
Cons: I can't test it out because there's no x64 support. Support told me x64 will be supported in the next release.
Download.com says no limitations, but my understanding is that there's a 5gb limit now. Not a huge con. Just a correction for the website. -
Version: Hotspot Shield 1.07
Pros: It's free...that's about it.
Cons: Very slow, difficult to uninstall
Summary: I tried this and it was freaken slow using a very high speed home WIFI connection. I couldn't uninstall it completely so I had to use system restore. Don't recommend it.
