Hotspot Shield creates a virtual private network (VPN) between your laptop and the wireless router. This impenetrable tunnel prevents snoopers and hackers from viewing your email, instant messages, credit card information or anything else you send over a wireless network. Which means you remain anonymous and protect your privacy.

Hotspot Shield security software is free to download, employs the latest VPN technology, and is easy to install and use. So go ahead - Get behind the Shield - try Hotspot Shield today!

Tutorial :-

1. Download the software Here(No spyware or adware detected)
2. Install software

Once it connected the connection already secure and encrypted. Run your torrent client without any setting. You can see the speed is increasing very rapidly.

Try it.!! Malaysia Boleh..Boleh Ke?Boleh laa...

Doesn't work for me. Is there a trick, like a specific port or BT client?

nope no need to configure anything even the port forwarding. What you need to do just download the software then install it. make sure you already connected to the VPN server then you run your torrent client. It work fine for me. I even can reach 150kbps using 1mb stimmix connection. :)

Then it must be luck. So far all the torrents don't work for me, getting same rates as screamyx. I've tried Xunlei before this. The first few days I got smooth downloads, after that downloads almost all fell to 0K/s. So far Deluge seems to work better so I'm sticking to it. If anyone else is getting good results from Anchor Free please leave a comment.

hmm that's weird. I been using it since last month got no problem. 1 question after you connected to hotspot shield did you check your ip address? Suppose the ip recognize as non Malaysia IP will be detected.

OK, i hv got a few questions:
1.can u use any torrent client with hotspot shield (i use bitcomet)
2.how come port forwarding is blocked even if i manually forwarded it with my router? Is it necessary?
3.I'm still getting the DAMN same old speed(cannot even go beyond 10kB/s)
*Does this thing actually work?

sotong-itu said...

1. i'm using utorrent
2. no need port forwarding
3. make sure the seeds is more than peers. If speed still slow maybe hotspot shiled congested. Try using "Smarthide" This one also free. :)

maXref said...

Smarthide is no longer free la.
Btw, i read in some post that 4mbps connection is not traffic shaped. Is it true? Any 4mbps users to confirm this? I might wanna upgrade if its true.
do u know any other companies other than Smarthide and Hotspot shield that is free?

sotong-itu said...

currently i still using smarthide and it still free. 4mb connection i'm not sure but if you get the fix IP account yes. I did try using it. Speed was awesome.

Anonymous said...

no la. 4mbps is still with dynamic ip not static.

1mb static IP package RM 418

How well is Smarthide in dodging Streamyx throttling?

Anonymous said...

How well ? what i can say it depend on the seeds and Leechers as well the VPN server (smarthide). My personal record 160kbps++.

maXref said...

I used to get 180-200kBps for good torrents like naruto and bleach. Sigh, now can barely exceed 10kBps(that is the case if i'm lucky). Even the stupid 4mbps line is for certain place only. My house is not within its fucked up range. Screw them for their mediocre performance

Hotspot Shield no longer works. They musta have banned it or restricted it.
