AnchorFree’s Hotspot Shield is a very popular VPN service, best known for its free account.
Hotspot Shield Elite is the £18.95 ($25, AU$33) per year extended edition (£63.95 lifetime plan – that’s $84, AU$112) which drops the ads, supports private browsing, virtual locations, allows “access all content”, and supports up to five devices.
The service offers a choice of 20 locations including the US, UK, Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Russia, Turkey and Mexico.
There are clients available for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and, unusually, Kindle.
The Elite account comes with a 7-day trial, but you must enter your credit card details when you sign up. You’re charged once the trial is over – however, there’s also a 30-day refund option.
