A standard VPN enables a device to send and receive information across a public network as if it was connected directly to a private network. By filtering information through the remote server, the VPN shields that data from anyone on the same public network, including internet service providers.
VPNs saw a sizable uptick in usage after the United States Congress voted to repeal protections that required internet service providers to get permission before collecting sensitive information from users. Hotspot Shield is not the first VPN to come under fire for shady practices. In , Hola VPN received criticism for its practice of selling user bandwidth which could then be bought and used for distributed denial of service DDoS attacks.
