hey what's up everybody andy here and in today's video we're going to do a quick comparison review
between cyber ghost vpn and hot spot shield cyber ghost is regarded as one of the best
out there combining fast speeds a simple interface and top tier encryption into a fairly priced
service hotspot shield is a free vpn with a paid upgrade that removes bandwidth limits
offers 128-bit encryption and offers a proprietary catapult hydra protocol option this pales in
comparison to cyberghost's 256-bit encryption and openvpn pptp and l2tp ipsec protocols but
what about other aspects well hotspot shield is not that far behind cyberghost when it comes to
speeds regardless of server location with that said cyberghost has a slight edge and both
services are suitable for streaming media without any lags or buffering cyberghost has a clear edge
in server amounts especially with the numerous locations spread across their 60 countries
to choose from hotspot shield only offers 27 locations in an equal amount of countries which is
much more restricting so let's talk a bit about support customer support is a big difference in
these two cyber ghost has a strong dedication to support with an extensive help section on
their site that includes everything from guides and faqs to announcements and platform-specific
to's and troubleshooting while hot spot shield does have a lot of resources on their site
but only an email ticketing system after that cyberghost is available for all major platforms
installs quickly and will automatically connect you to the best server upon your first use
for those wanting a specific country you can click on simulated location where you'll gain access to
to view all locations within your chosen country the interface is very easy to navigate and new
users will have no trouble figuring out how everything works if you are having any issues
setting up torrenting servers or using cyberghost in a place like china their live chat team
will help walk you through it plus in regards to unblocking content cyberghost can bypass
netflix and hulu restrictions along with espn and youtube after signing up and choosing the platform
installation and setup took less than two minutes hotspot shield connects automatically to the
closest server to your location you can however change your virtual location manually by selecting
the country you desire from the drop-down list you cannot choose which server in the country
hotspot picks that for you when we turned on hotspot shield we were already streaming netflix
and it continued to stream without any issues however when we tried to use hulu
we experienced an error you must have a premium account to stream netflix and it only works with
the virtual us location selected there really isn't much configuration to hotspot shield which
is suitable for those who aren't technically savvy you can turn on off automatic startup and
turn on the kill switch options other than these few settings there's not a lot to personalize
so you're wondering which vpn should you choose well hotspot shield is a decent free service but
upgrading your subscriptions still won't bring you all the things you get from cyber ghost which has
more servers faster speeds better support and a lot of security options because of this
cyber ghost gets the easy win more info how to use this chart cyber ghost
scores well in every category for a reason it's a well-developed service with a good
price and doesn't have any real drawbacks hot spot shield has some advantages of its own but
isn't as well-rounded as cyberghost so thank you so much for watching my video if you are
