AnchorFree recently released new versions of its Hotspot Shield VPN app for Apple iOS 8.0 and Android.
The new versions include new features that make personal privacy, Wi-Fi security and access to the world’s information smarter, easier to use and more secure.
With the latest release of Hotspot Shield, we’re making privacy, security and access an easy, one-step process.

In addition, we’re now offering 9 virtual locations across all platforms: US, Japan, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, India (via Singapore) and China.
iOS 8.0
iPhone and iPad users can turn Hotspot Shield on and off and select countries they want to connect to from within the application with a simple tap. Previously, limitations of older iOS made this a more cumbersome, multi-step process.
Android
The new Android version of Hotspot Shield features the Smart Protection mode, which automatically detects unsafe Wi-Fi networks and turns on to protect users as they surf the Web, shop, enter passwords or access sensitive information.
Additionally, you can choose to only activate Hotspot Shield for specific sites. The Hotspot Shield app automatically detects when you visit a site that may be censored or blocked and turns itself on to enable access to that site. You can also disable certain sites from being protected by Hotspot Shield and opt-in protection for sites they visit frequently.
You also have the option to change the country setting, to change their virtual location and connect to servers in the United States, United Kingdom or Japan to access your favorite content, such as a soccer match or entertainment sites and social media with a simple one-tap process.
For American, British and Japanese travelers and expats, Hotspot Shield gives you the ability to gain access to U.S., U.K. and Japanese content from anywhere. Additionally, both versions include default presets for some of the most popular sites in each country to be always available. Examples of sites that are often censored, but always available through Hotspot Shield, are Google in China, Skype in the Middle East, Twitter and Facebook in many parts of Asia and Africa.
In summary, here are the amazing things our new versions of Hotspot Shield can do:
- Secures mobile and public Wi-Fi connections with HTTPS encryption
