Hotspot Shield is known for its impressive speed as a VPN service. However, speed is not the only factor to consider when choosing a VPN. You need a service that is compatible with all your devices, provides robust privacy protection, hides your location, and offers reliable customer support, all at an affordable price.
I conducted a hands-on review of Hotspot Shield to evaluate its performance against other top VPNs and determine if it’s the right choice for your needs.
