Last week I wrote about 15 VPN services that can be used to watch British TV shows over the internet if you are leaving outside UK. These are paid services that help you change your IP address. Today, let’s take a look to 7 VPN services that are FREE!
Hotspot Shield
Hotspot Shield in a few words: “100% Security Through a VPN“. More: “It’s FREE!” It 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. It’s ad-based service, so be prepared to see a lot of advertisment on the top of the sites you visit!
