Hotspot Shield 30-Day Speed History
What the history shows: The free-plan download result increased by 13.1%, from 444.8 to 503.07 Mbps. Free-plan daily download was fairly consistent, with typical variation of 6.8% around the average and a range of 444.12–537.58 Mbps.
Censorship Resistance
Working on free plan— Only the free plan bypassed network restrictions
The free plan successfully connected and transferred traffic in the restricted network environment we tested, while the paid plan did not provide a usable connection.
When this matters: This mixed result is most relevant if you need the VPN to work where VPN traffic is actively blocked. The outcome may depend on which plan, server and protocol you use.
