Apart from this, this VPN has undergone a couple of shifts in past years which culminated when Hotspot Shield became a part of a new company called Aura, which then merged with Pango Group. Hotspot Shield has also launched its own unique Hydra protocol, which aims to maximize speed without making compromises on security. A year later, Hotspot Shield was upgraded to include support for iOS and Android. In 2010, Hotspot Shield VPN caught the world's attention when people utilized it to bypass government censorship and openly share information in the middle of Arab Spring protests in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya. The aim behind was to provide “every person on the planet” with a solution that would keep all their data safe from cybercriminals and snoopers while providing free access to the information from otherwise blocked sites and services.ĪnchorFree is based in Redwood City (California, the USA) with offices in Ukraine and Russia. It was operated by the same company until 2019. Click Ok.Hotspot Shield is a virtual private network (VPN) service that was first released in April 2008 for Windows and macOS operating systems by AnchorFree. For my case, it’s Local Area Connection 12 as seen below. It should be contain “Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter”. Under the Home networking connection dropdown, select the Mobile Hotspot we created ealier. Make sure the option that says “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection” is checked. So right click on it and select properties. We are going to share this network adapter’s internet via our mobile hotspot we created earlier. For instance for Surfshark, you should see something like TAP-Surfshark adapter as seen below. Now select the network Adapter created by the VPN App. Click on Change Adapter options to reveal all network adapters on your computers. Now click on Wi-Fi on the left-side panel and scroll down to Related settings. You can change these by clicking on the Edit button. You’ll get auto-generated Network Name and password. Now click on Mobile Hotspot on the left-side panel. Then click on Network & Internet settings. To create a Mobile Hotspot on Windows 10, right click on the network icon on the task bar. Your devices will connect to this WiFi hotspot in order to access your service provider’s VPN network. So the first step is creating a mobile hotspot on your Windows PC. Installing the VPN App will create a TAP Network Adapter we shall use later. You can download the Windows App from here. Now go ahead and install your VPN provider’s Windows App.
