Using a VPN or Virtual Private Network is definitely one of the best ways to do a lot of tasks, including ensuring all private details remain secured, protecting your device from Trojans and malware attacks, getting access to some web pages which are blocked on specific networks or locations and generally for all people who just wanted to make sure all details remain private. Because of the generally increasing demand for reliable virtual private networks, it has been shown that more than 10 million downloads for Hotspot Shield were made for IOS and Android platforms alone. This data doesn’t include the statistics for computer downloads.
Hotspot Shield, one of the biggest VPN providers, recently announced that their download counts for iPhone and Android users drastically went up. Approximately 1.5 million downloads are being made every single month, making it one of the most ‘needed’ and ‘productive’ applications in the mobile market. Although there are many other similar application found in the Apple Store and Google Play Store, consumers chose to stick with Anchor Free’s Hotspot Shield simply because of the security it provides, along with the number of updates that are being done to always provide its users the most optimum results and experience that they have always been looking for.
The growth for VPNs started to increase recently – probably because of the awareness that has been spread out to the public. For once, accessing sites containing sensitive and very important information using mobile phones had been at risk, enabling people to find applications that can mask important things for them and stay hidden from the public. Attacks from hackers have also increased – and their victims are usually mobile users, or people who are strong smart phone users who mainly use these devices for e-mail, typical Google search, accessing bank accounts, social media sites and many others.
Research showed that the majority of VPN users are American travelers – who wish to still access the same applications and other websites, without having to worry about their borders and limitations when visiting a certain country. Geographical restrictions used to be a problem before, but not with the developments and improvements with regard to mobile applications allowing individuals do things they haven’t experienced before.
Hotspot Shield, so far, has been on the top of the ‘must download’ lists of many smart phone users, bloggers, tech geeks and typically someone who uses the internet. Regardless if your concern is to have your security masked and private, or whether you just wanted to access specific websites which is not available in your country, this virtual private network application will do the trick for you.
Experts have stated that it has been expected that the popularity for Hotspot Shield will continuously increase in the next few months. Decrease is too far to happen – just yet. Even though there are many other competitors in the market, the said developers haven’t seen these as a threat, considering the fact that they’ve been in the market for quite some time, and continuously sees improvements, rather than the other way around.
