Review : Hotspot Shield
One thing that can be frustrating these days is that even though the Internet has removed borders and we now have immediate access to anything that’s happening around the world, we’re still bogged down by real-world laws and limitations. One area where it especially hurts is availability of medias on the internet.
TV Shows are starting to be distributed on the Web (I’ve been saying traditional TV is dead for a while now) but at least here in Canada we get a lot of US TV shows on TV but then of course these are not always available on the Web for us Canadians. The solution to that has always been finding a proxy server in the US to make it look like you are coming from the US, but they rarely work well enough to stream video.
If you’ve been looking at a site like www.hulu.com thinking you would love to be able to watch it, the solution is quite easy and its name is Hotspot Shield. This “software” is really just a web interface to enable and disable te proxy setting on your computer. Once you enable it, you’ll be anonymous on the Web and it’ll look like you are in the US. It’s a simple software that gives a simple solution and it works really well so far for me.
It’s also hard to argue with the price : free. Highly recommended.
