Vi bekrefter ikke spesifikke uttalelser siden en forfatters mening er hens egen, men vi kan merke en anmeldelse som "bekreftet" når vi kan bekrefte at det har vært kontakt med virksomheten. Mer informasjon

For å beskytte plattformens integritet vil alle anmeldelser på plattformen—bekreftet eller ikke—bli undersøkt av vår automatiserte programvare (tilgjengelig hele døgnet). Denne teknologien er designet til å identifisere og fjerne innhold som bryter med retningslinjene våre, deriblant anmeldelser som ikke er basert på en faktisk erfaring. Vi vet at vi ikke kan fange opp alt. Hvis du tror at vi har gått glipp av noe, kan du rapportere det. Mer informasjon

Pas fiable en mode gratuit

Même si c'est très tentant de l'utiliser en mode gratuit (pas besoin de compte, connexion rapide, changement de serveur facile et kill switch intégré), ne le faîtes pas. Le VPN a tendance a se déconnecter tout seul et malgré le kill switch activé, votre IP apparait en clair. Pour résumer : pas fiable du tout, oubliez.

Bonjour Frédéric,

Merci d'avoir partagé votre avis. Nous comprenons votre préoccupation et sommes sincèrement désolés des désagréments occasionnés.

Nous avons examiné votre compte et constaté que le prélèvement a été effectué en janvier, tandis que votre première demande d'annulation et de remboursement date d'octobre. Ce délai étant largement dépassé (45 jours), nous ne sommes malheureusement pas en mesure de procéder à un remboursement.

Nous avons également examiné toutes vos interactions précédentes et n'avons trouvé aucune trace d'une demande d'annulation antérieure au renouvellement. Notre équipe vous a également communiqué ces informations par e-mail et reste à votre disposition pour toute question ou clarification supplémentaire.

Merci de votre compréhension.

Dropped Linux and Router Support

Dropped Linux and Router Support

The VPN worked fine until they dropped support for the devices I actually use it on. Now I'm just stuck having paid for something that does not work and customer service is 0 stars.

Hotspot Shield Drops Linux, Breaks Trust with Long-Time Users

I have been a loyal Hotspot Shield customer for many years, even purchasing a lifetime subscription because I trusted the company’s long-term vision. Unfortunately, I now feel completely let down.

Hotspot Shield recently decided to drop Linux support entirely. For a VPN service that should prioritize privacy-minded users, abandoning Linux — one of the most security-conscious platforms — feels like a total disregard for long-time customers.

To make matters worse, support gave me conflicting and misleading answers. First, I was told I could still use a browser extension on Firefox. Later, another agent admitted that the Firefox extension no longer exists. In other words, there is no working solution for Linux users, despite years of loyalty and payment.

As a lifetime subscriber, I’m not about to switch to Windows or Mac just to keep using a service I already paid for. This decision leaves Linux customers stranded, with no alternatives provided.

For anyone considering Hotspot Shield: be aware that platform support may be dropped without warning, and promises to “lifetime” users clearly don’t carry much weight.
