#VPN TRACKER ALTERNATIVE ANDROID#

One in-depth study of Android VPN apps found that 84% of the VPNs tested leaked the user’s IP address. In other words, many VPN services that market themselves as privacy and security solutions are in fact leaking your data when you go online.Īlso concerning is the fact that many VPNs have broken features. This data includes IP addresses that could expose your identity and DNS requests that expose your browsing history. In fact, in our own VPN tests conducted over the past six years for various reviews, we have found numerous popular VPN services leak data. SpotFlux is also blocked in Abc.com where I get a message saying that I have to disable add blocking programs before I can watch their videos.Can you trust your VPN to keep your data private and secure? While some VPN providers do a good job of securing your connection, many others do not.

#VPN TRACKER ALTERNATIVE INSTALL#

UPDATE December 2012: After using Spotflux again I noticed that the installer comes with sponsored software, you can refuse to install it unchecking a tickbox. I would say that both VPNs, SpotFlux and HotSpotShield, are ok to watch US online TV and that is it, never use a free VPN like them to check your email if you care about your online privacy. HotSpotShield privacy policy is equally bad but they don’t have any system in place filtering the sites you visit for “ privacy reasons“. I don’t know how they make money with it, I will speculate that Spotflux might start charging for extra services in the future. This is definitely not a VPN to be used for privacy even if they claim so. Spotflux privacy policy doesn’t mention what logs they keep and how long for but they say that they will use deep packet inspection of user traffic to cooperate with law enforcement if necessary. Browser addons blocking adverts allow people configuration options to only target websites abusing privacy and overdone with adverts, Spotflux block all sites, if you use them to visit your favourite sites you will deprive them from advert income and eventually kill the site. As a blogger I find this VPN unethical, the reason why I don’t update hacker10 more often is because the scarce income I make here does not justify my posting time. What makes this VPN different from others is that they scan and filter all pages you request for malware and viruses, tracking cookies are filtered out too. Spotflux settings are very simple, consisting of automatic updates, proxy configuration and language interface.

I tested their speed from Europe a few times and it gave me a consistent 1MB/1.5MB, enough to stream online video, hoovering your mouse over the Windows tray will show your given IP, Spotflux provides a US computer IP allowing you to access CWTV, ABC, Pandora radio and other websites restricted to US residents only, I tried to watch Hulu and it worked fine, the same with Pandora Radio.ĭuring installation the software will ask you to install a device driver and also to run Java, this is one part that I did not like, I have used multiple VPNs in the past and I have never been asked to run a Java app, Java runs locally in your computer it has been exploited in the past and it could endanger your security unless you are really sure that the place you downloaded it from is trustworthy.

#VPN TRACKER ALTERNATIVE FOR MAC#

Spotflux is a free VPN for Mac and Windows computers, it can help you get around censorship in countries where ISPs block websites, theoretically it can bypass computer Internet filters but it is not portable and you need administrator rights to install it, you won’t be able to use Spotflux in your college or workplace unless you have your own laptop.
