unblocks Netflix and BBC iPlayer with fast international speeds and a huge network of servers. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It no longer keeps logs, but the company has previously provided user data to third parties. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The VPN&#039;s strong security and a 7-day free trial make it great for beginners, but it&#039;s not a recommended VPN for privacy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"jsx-2581842606 block-text intro-block\">\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align:

servers<\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> in more than <\/span><\/span><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">290 locations in<\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> all the world. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This covers almost every country on the planet, making it a great option for accessing geo-blocked or censored content.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">With dedicated servers for streaming services like Netflix and BBC iPlayer, fast speeds and unlimited bandwidth, HideMyAss is also a <\/span><\/span><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">excellent VPN for broadcasters<\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> who want to unlock content from everywhere.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This VPN may have a notable number of servers, but it is not ideal when it comes to privacy. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this HideMyAss VPN review, we will explain precisely how VPN works when it consists of security, protection, and more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The VPN uses the gold standard OpenVPN protocol with AES-256, the strongest encryption on the market. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">HideMyAss&#039;s no-logs privacy policy is impressive too, but the jurisdiction of the VPN provider in the UK and the <\/span><\/span><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">cooperation<\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> previous <\/span><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">with the forces of order<\/span><\/b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> means that your data is not as secure as it is with more private VPN providers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">HideMyAss is also one of the <\/span><\/span><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">VPN<\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> plus <\/span><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">faces<\/span><\/b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> , with prices starting at $ 11.99 per month and falling to $ 3.99 on longer-term plans. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Regardless, there&#039;s a 7-day free trial, which is great if you&#039;re on a budget.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">HideMyAss mobile apps miss out on some essential VPN encryption and security features, as their iPhone and MacOS apps do not provide a VPN kill switch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Overall, our research shows that HideMyAss is not as secure as its rivals. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It also doesn&#039;t allow users to customize many settings, even after the release of their new Version 5 clients. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It&#039;s still one of the best VPNs overall - one of its strongest attributes is its download speed, which you can read more about below.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"jsx-1821981196 mobile-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-1821981196

locations. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Sometimes your traffic can take a shorter route, which means you can get the speed benefits of connecting close to home while still getting an IP address in the country you require.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">They also enable HMA to provide VPN locations that would not otherwise be geographically accessible or that would not have the necessary infrastructure to support the hosting of physical VPN servers.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Regardless, it may be difficult for

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The idea of your data being diverted to a country other than where you want it to go can be worrisome and may appear false

it can seriously affect your internet speed if you get the impression that you are connecting to a VPN server that is close to you, only to end up being the other side of the
