![]() ![]() ![]() The HMA Windows app opens with a big, obvious on/off switch for the VPN connection. If you hit any problems then technical support is as usual available via 24/7 live chat. While HMA doesn’t offer any guarantees about BitTorrent or video streaming support, the VPN doesn’t block file-sharing connections, and the publisher's website includes tips on getting access to popular streaming services. HMA can be used with a wide range of routers as it supports the L2TP and PPTP protocols note that the latter has comparatively weak security, but it should be fine if you just want to spoof your location. HMA also offers ten-connection options which work out to £5.99 a month and £4.59 per month respectively – or you can configure the VPN on your router and send all your traffic over a single secure connection. ![]() Those prices permit up to five simultaneous connections, with client apps offered for all the major desktop and mobile platforms along with a Chrome extension that lets you control the VPN from your browser. Otherwise you’ll pay £39.48 for a year’s service (equivalent to £3.29 a month) or £86.04 for three years, which works out to a very competitive £2.39 a month. HMA is also one of the very few VPNs to offer an up-front free trial – you can sign up for seven days and cancel during that period to ensure you’re not charged. Connection speeds of up to 20Gbits/sec are claimed, and the company operates more than a thousand servers across 210 countries and territories, so you can virtually locate yourself almost anywhere in the world. It’s a serious VPN, though, fully capable of concealing your online activity by encrypting your internet traffic and routing it through its own secure gateways. The acronym HMA stands for “Hide My Ass”, and the brand's website is covered in jokey donkey imagery. ![]()
