  • Very fast, but the privacy policy is a bit wordy

    4 out of 5 stars

    If speed is your #1 priority, Hotspot Shield is a top contender. It feels almost as fast as a naked internet connection. My only slight concern is that their privacy policy is a bit more complex than the "zero-logs" simplicity of Proton or Mullvad. However, for streaming and general browsing, the performance is unbeatable.

  • Blazing fast Hydra protocol for high-bandwidth tasks

    5 out of 5 stars
    Samuel O'Reilly

    Their proprietary "Hydra" protocol is legitimately impressive. It excels on long-distance connections where other VPNs tend to struggle. I use it for video editing and uploading large files to the cloud, and the speed loss is minimal. It's also bundled with a lot of antivirus packages now, making it a great all-in-one security solution.
