protection from online spying and blocked sites

Hotspot Shield (see ZDNet) is 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 1.17 fixes problems with Hotspot Shield connecting and disconnecting.
