How to stream restricted content with Hotspot Shield

Ever been traveling abroad and been unable to watch Netflix? What about that annoying “this content is restricted in your area” message you see on YouTube, or perhaps your social media or gaming apps are blocked at work or school?

Hotspot Shield is the FREE app you’ve been waiting for, helping 600 million people in over 200 countries access restricted content around the globe.

What is Hotspot Shield?
Hotspot Shield secures your internet connection, making all of your online activities anonymous and hidden from prying eyes. The app also boasts Malware Protection to prevent harmful viruses and phishing attacks.

What Hotspot Shield does is hide your real IP address by routing your web traffic through its secure servers. There, it scrambles your data and provides you with a ‘new’ IP address. From within the Hotspot Shield app, you can pick the location of the server you want to connect through.

For example, if you’re a resident of the United Kingdom but you’re using your computer in the United States, you can connect to a Hotspot Shield server that’s located in the United Kingdom and the website you’re visiting will think you’re in the U.K.

Now, if you went into your Netflix account, instead of seeing U.S content, you’d see shows from the U.K version of Netflix. You will also be able to access BBC iPlayer and other services that are only available in the United Kingdom — despite being located in the USA.
