I hope this is allowed here, I want to make sure nobody gets screwed over. I recently purchased the elite plan from Hotspot Shield, roughly 2 weeks ago. I used my credit card for this purchase as I wasn't 100% sure on how reputable it is. This is the only thing I have used my credit card for in months, and my card always stays at home. Today I was met with thousands of dollars in fraudulent charges from allllll over the US. Thankfully my bank was stellar with everything (thank you USAA), but I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Some of the charges were for other VPN services, cell service in Mexico, hundreds of dollars in pizza, games, and retail stores. After I noticed these charges, I started noticing weird emails and notifications only for accounts I have used while accessing the VPN. I started noticing login attempts from other countries, etc. I am so thankful I used my credit card for this. I have since had to change all of my passwords and setup 2 step on everything I could. I highly recommend you avoid this software, do not risk it.

Edit: woke up the next morning to fraudulent charges to my debit card also. I very rarely come in contact with people other than my family due to my night job. I find it highly unlikely someone physically took my cards, especially since I'm getting international charges. I did have my cards saved in chrome, maybe they were able to pull that data through since I was using that browser and was signed into my account while using the hotspot shield VPN service. I've since changed all my passwords, removed all saved data in chrome and gmail, reset my entire PC that I had the software installed on, and changed both of my cards and removed the money from the account into a different bank account only I have access to. I think I should be good to go from here on. What a pain in the ass!

If you want to protect yourself from hackers, ad agencies, your internet service provider and the National Security Agency, then you're going to need more than an incognito browser. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are a great way to encrypt your data and make it appear like you're browsing from a different server somewhere around the world. And besides shielding your browsing activity, VPNs can let you access sites restricted to certain countries. Hello U.S. Netflix while on vacation. What's up, BBC iPlayer during Wimbledon?

The prices are $17.99/month, $11.99/month for 6 months, $8.49/month for a year and $159.99 lifetime. That surely is an elite price and is comparable with VPNs like ExpressVPN, but is far more expensive than other good options like NordVPN and VPN Unlimited, especially if you can find one of those on sale.

ExpressVPN is often mentioned in the top three for VPNs -- and for good reason. It's got plenty of servers, is Netflix-friendly and has elite speeds. For around the same price as Hotspot Shield, you're comparing apples to apples, but popular opinion would say ExpressVPN is a better choice.

I tried it just now and PA detected hotspot-shild app without SSL decrpytion. However i don't know what happens if you put it on block and app tries to connect to some less known IPs and/or URLs. I guess in that case SSL decryption is needed.

It seems that you are struggling with blocking Proxy applications like Hotspot Shield but the major point here is that you can only ensure that all Hotspot shield attempts are blocked by enabling the SSL Decryption.

As you say the SSL Decryption is not possible on your network then the possibility of the user to bypass the Firewall is high because these Proxy applications like Hotspot shield users IKE, IPSEC, SSH, SSL to create encrypted tunnels which will completely bypass the filtering...

Hotspot Shield Elite is a subscription-based service that allows you not only to secure your connection while surfing WiFi hotspots, but also to access any website you want as an anonymous user. It is the paid version of Hotspot Shield and guarantees faster and more stable streaming.
