The product checked this box easily. Apart from this, the setup is quite simple. > > **Cons**: On one or two occasions, I noticed that some server locations as shown in the software were actually different from what IP checkers reported. Some of the IP addresses are also blacklisted, but this is a general problem with most VPNs. > > My main purpose for using a VPN is to stay anonymous and access geo-restricted content; HMA solves this. ----- ### "Easy to use but not flawless" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 July 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and select target GEO with the dedicated app. Minimal setup is required, everything is self-explanatory > > **Cons**: Often refused to connect or just jumped to another server without notification. Found a little bit expensive compared to the competition. Detected that real IP address leaks in certain situations. > > The application was used for QA testing of various applications, mimicking the real location and testing the functionality of VPN detection. As a paid tool, compared to other similar applications and free alternatives it is still an affordable option for professional or hobby QA testers even with low budget. ----- ### "more server locations than any other provider on the market today... but what about privacy?" — 3.0/5 > **Lawrent** | *4 December 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works with US Netflix and BBC i-Player. HMA is one of the few VPNs that allows you to stream American Netflix from anywhere in the world, as well as BBC iPlayer from wherever you are located.Has the largest number of VPN server locations. With over 700 servers in over 70 countries, HMA has more options than any other VPN provider when choosing a server location for your connection. This means fewer dropped connections and faster performance when downloading files or streaming media content like movies and TV shows online.Very fast download speeds. When using an HMA server, I was able to get download speed averages between 20 Mbps (megabits per second) and 50 Mbps on my home connection while connected through a UK-based server location. HMA offers a variety of easy-to-use and well-designed apps for different platforms. These include macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS devices. > > **Cons**: 1. In the past, HMA has been known to hand over user data to authorities.2. The kill switch can fail at times.3. There is no Firestick app or Smart DNS tool.4. It's based in the UK (FVEY jurisdiction). > > While there’s no doubt that HMA has its fair share of drawbacks, it is still one of the most reliable VPNs on the market. We were looking for a VPN that reliably unblocked content from US Netflix and BBC iPlayer. The HMA app is easy-to-use and has all the features we need to protect your privacy while browsing online. However, as we wanted more advanced features or support for other platforms we considered another provider. ----- ### "The name says it all" — 5.0/5 > **Jeramy** | *21 December 2018* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use and has apps and software fo all platforms. Setup takes just a couple of minutes, and the tool will turn on when needed and remain off when not. HMA has been very stable and reliable, and I enjoy being able to work from any site remotely without the worry of wondering how is accessing my system or seeing my work projects. > > **Cons**: The one challenge that I have is in regard to the iPhone and Mac software; may be a challenge on all. When accessing the internet in some public locations, such as Starbucks, you must first select the network then agree to the terms to use the wifi. The challenge is that HMA detects and turns on, and then the connection fails a causes some issues in connecting. I have learned that when I access one of these networks, I have to dosconnect from HMA, agree to the terms, then turn on HMA. The same issue occurs on my iPhone, and may happen more often as I access dofferent networks throughout the week. While I have come to know how to resolve, it can be annoying sometimes with delays in access and having to occasionally restart. > > Overall, I love this tool. In looking for a VPN, I could not help but note the name... it is pretty much what I want to use a VPN for when I am working remotely. I travel a lot and work online, so I need to be able to access company networks and want to ensure that I am safe personally and professionally. HMA has been easy to use and the one issue I had was resolved in short order with an email. I have been a user for about a year and have another year on my subscription, and I anticipate renewing when my subscription is up. ----- ### "Hidemyass review" — 4.0/5 > **Opeyemi** | *6 December 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Privacy; this is a bit tricky as from my perspective, this part of the vpn is both an advantage and a disadvantage depending on where you are coming from. The intetnet privacy collects some sort of information that will be detailed in the cons but the good thing is, they never track your usage and the websites you visit and that is some sort of privacy you paid for. Speed; depending on whether ypu are using the service on a smartphone or a personal computer, there's never that slugiish feeling that comes with using free vpn trials, your internet connection is as swift as ever, only that now you're shielded from every prying eyes that's interested in what you do on the internet. Simplicity; hma's ease of use can be compared to no other as just about anyone can get around the interface to get to their various needs. Vastness; hma deserves all the accolades when it comes to the available servers presented to you to choose from, there's a lot of vpns out there with promises of a wide selection of servers when you upgrade to their subscription based service, at the end of the day, what you get is not usually what you paid for. > > **Cons**: Pricing; in all sincerity, to some class of people, the pricing of their services is fair but to others, it's not so fair as there are other alternatives with cheaper subscription fee, the company will do better for themselves to review the pricings. Extended options; there's little to no provision for power users who use vpns for more thsn bypassing restrictions on multimedia websites, some of us use vpn for accessing our funds on online payment systems who are strict on how you access your account, a slight change in your ip address can ruin years of hardwork as cash of many has been stranded cause of this oversight PC user interface; the ux team must be headed by someone who is as lazy as lazy can get as he somehow maneuvered his way to port the smartphone interface on personal computers and it is an eye sore. Privacy; with hma you don't have all the privacy you paid for as some information that might make you uncomfortable is being collected as you surf the net ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/170769/hidemyass?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/170769/hidemyass) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
