Hotspot Shield, probably the most popular free hide IP solution, is very easy to install and to use, but sometimes can’t connect due to unknown reasons. Here is a small tip, proposed by Patrick Soon, that may solve the problem:
1. Install HotSpot Shield
2. When it has finished installing it will try to open the HotSpot Shield website in your default browser: http://127.0.0.1:895/config/?action=connect&l…
3. When your web browser opens go to the Address Bar and copy and paste the address to Notepad and save.
4. If you get an error message stating that there is no connectivity then continue on to step 5.
5. Go to: Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connection -> Local Area Connection -> Properties.
6. In the General Tab you will see a short list of ticked boxes.
7. Scroll down the list and you should find Hotspot Shield Helper Driver
8. Remove the tick from this box.9. Close and reopen your web browser it should now connect to your default web page.
10. Remember that address you saved as a text document? Copy and past it into the address bar of your browser.
11. Press the refresh icon.
12.The Hotspot Shield Website will now open and assign you an I.P address i.e. it will connect you.
13 It should now work normally as before.

For MAC users.
after installing HotSpot shield go to applications, select HotSpot shield “open package” (two finger click on track pad), go to contents->MacOS-> and double click or click depending on system preferences on HotSpot Shield (exec) say yes or no for “run at login” and you will be taken to website were you will be connected to HotSpot Shield.
Enjoy.
Any idea how to do this for windows 7?
