AnchorFree, the creators of the well known free VPN solution Hotspot Shield, has launched an extension for the iPhone users.
Hotspot Shield creates a VPN – virtual private network between your computer and an Internet gateway. The tunnel prevents snoopers and hackers from viewing your email, instant messages, credit card information or anything else you send over the network.
Hotspot Shield for iPhone is an extension of the classical version meant to protect iPhone Internet users’ personal information from potential hackers on shared 3G and Wi-Fi networks. It does not require any download, and is easily configured in seconds by visiting http://hotspotshield.com/clientless/iphone.
David Gorodyansky, co-founder and CEO of AnchorFree said:
Our vision behind Hotspot Shield is plain and simple: to provide anyone going online with a safe and private environment from which to connect to the Web. Hotspot Shield for iPhone offers a free way for savvy, security-conscious consumers to now use the iPhone securely. We’ve created the ultimate defense for iPhone users jumping from one 3G/Wi-Fi network to the next.
