hotspot shield
Hotspot Shield is a
software application developed by AnchorFree, Inc. that allows users to
surf the Internet privately by creating a virtual private network so the
user can gain secure access to all internet content, while staying in
control over their personal privacy.[1][2] The program is also used for
cloud malware protection especially by travelers and expats that want to
save data or access their home content while roaming abroad.[1] It is
used by business travelers and students to protect their online
activities in Wi-Fi hotspots.[1] It is also used by people in regions
that are subject to Internet censorship, giving users access to the
world’s information.[3] Hotspot Shield was used to bypass government
censorship during the Arab Spring protests in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya,
and was featured on The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and
CNN.[6][7]
