Is anyone experiencing problems with hotspot shield? Would appreciate knowing whether those that use it can connect or not.

Slight change question due to no responses, Is anyone using a VPN address blocker to access UK channels that still works. Is anyone suspecting governmental control over web access?

I use the MM VPN on my laptop, works very well, only sometimes you have to reconnect it.

I have now had it onfirmed by my pc repairer that the government are blocking sites.
I cannot even communicate with the support sites.

Here in the UK, I subscribe to Computeractive magazine - a couple of years or more ago they recommended Hola in a review of VPNs - however, in the last six months or so they have now said that present versions are vulnerable and may instal adware/malware. I don't know how true, but perhaps worth further checking.
When in Cyprus I (and also a neighbour) use Tunnelbear(free version) successfully.

We are using Hotspotshield on PC and Android, loads at startup no problems for several months, try contacting them. I have done so in the past and they replied and advised within a couple of days.All the UK sites I use, National Lottery, BBC Iplayer etc, no problem to date but who know about tomorrow.
