They tell your data "may" be transferred (SEND TO) ¿So what the word "private" means to then?. Check. Find ULTRA VPN, it does not abuse you neither fill you with ads and annoying automatic redirection of your page to their news and search site. HOTSPOT SHIELD is a pirate buccaneer waiting for assault! HOTSPOT SHIELD Terms and Conditions are dangerous.

Now though, the ads cost me screen real estate, and sometimes HSS is balky and won't connect. Earlier versions could ditch the ads, but that is harder now. I found PureVPN 3 years ago, and use them regularly now. Hamachi, etc, have their purpose and are great tools, but I am a web surfer and researcher not tied to a corporate system or remote server. PureVPN is not free: ~$6 for 1 month and ~$28 for,6 mo. [shared IP]. Private IP is higher. Setup is automated. L2TP and PPTP dialers are both included, and the customer service is incredible. Uzair Gadit at Pure has probably been the best Customer Service guy I have ever encountered. Servers are in DE, UK, CAN, USA. If one is down, open properties and switch on the fly. If you do try PureVPN, email Uzair[at]PureVPN.com and use PayPal. Plimus is their payment processor, and I have to say that they are balky and can be a hassle. I worked around that and stayed a customer ONLY because the product is well worth it for me. I don't impress easily, Chris. Please try this one out and see if your perceptions match mine. [NO, I don't work there], Thanks, and keep up the good work, botNOT Hi Chris,

This is not a full VPN service at all. you need to get your facts right before posting your advice on Hamachi; even the manufacturers do not suggest that it secures your wireless LAN. Please revise this page so as not to dupe others in missinformation.

In addition, many wireless ISPs actively block P2P and anything with the word "tracker" in it, as well as providing a piddling 512Kbyte download rate. It's not even possible to checked tracked messages on forums because of this. I've just installed Hotspot and for now it is working fine. It will be interesting to see if the ISP manages to block it. For now though it's a great tip. Cheers, John Now following your updates on Twitter too. Hi Chris,

Meant to tie a remote end-user into another LAN or another PC to make it part of their own "LAN" (or private IP addressing). Internet traffic is not shielded with Hamachi at all! Chris,

Thank you! I just wanted tot tell you that I use HotSpot Shield regularly. But I use it at home... HotSpot Shield is a great way to use a VPN that gives you a temporary IP in the states, allowing me to watch TV on Hulu and enjoy music on SpiralFrog. It's just a great way to avoid having to wait up to 4 or 5 years to see if a tv show or an itune download ever makes it across the pond. Until entertainment suits start making their goods available to the rest of the world in a fair way I'll be a pretend American with HotSpot Shield to get it! Hi Chris,
