Great experience so far. Had some initial problems my end setting up openvpn but support guide me through the set-up straight away. Slight drop in speed occasionaly but hardly noticeable. Hppily watching hulu from my temporary location in the UK. highly recommended
Had the worst support experience with HMA ever. Answers took days and were off topic.
Mac software worked sort of with couple crashes. However how the heck I know what this software does in my system. Source code isn’t available. Would prefer System own VPN services but the server list from HMA wasn’t up-to-date.
Speed from Shanghai was just awful on most server and servers which have been recommended by HMA own software didn’t work at all.
Only good thing there was no discussion on the 30 days money back guaranty.
Never again HMA for me ever!
True Canuck checking in. Signed up just over a month ago and yesterday upgraded for a further 6 months. Excellent value, always up and working no complaints from here
I’ve been frustrated with Hide My Ass a lot. The first one being about a month ago when the Italian server stopped working because they moved their data center. After weeks and weeks of palliative promises (we’ll have it working by week’s end!) the Italian center is still not working. I had to spend a great deal of money testing other VPNs before I found a few with connections that actually worked. Their (HMA) support staff seems pretty slow and inept as well. Everytime I email them, it takes a few days for them to respond back. Either that, or I’m lucky if they respond at all. I suppose if these things don’t bother you, you can give them a shot. But after this month is over, I am not renewing.
Initial DNS set up problem solved quickly and efficiently be support on day one. after that it’s been great. Best VPN i’ve used. Love being able to use on Windows, iphone and Mac and the price is a steal on the annual option.
Signed up for HMA while travelling in Europe over the holidays. Was able to log in to my Netflix account as well as iPhone and iPad Apps that works only in the USA. Will definetly recommend to friends traveling abroad.
I bought this the other day and so far the speed has been awful regardless of what server I hit. My own speed with say peerlbock is very quick, but under these guys, I’m lucky if I hit 2MBs. Today alone, I went from 1.5 in U.S. to 400KBs in Cairo to 1MBs in London – I use the random switch. I spent a few hours looking at various VPNs and every one said this is the best. I’m seriously doubting it.
After trying other VPNs this is the best value for money. The secure bind option is a very good extra. I’m using this software about 8 months and I’m very happy. It is great. Thanks HMA!
Overall, OK. Sometimes it’s failed to reconnect after I reboot my computer. Speed varies from very slow to quite fast and on some servers it makes my pc crash dont know why. Support say it’s my computer but I just had it fixed
Does what it says on the tin. The ease of use and setup is great for Novice computer users. The software is pleasing and easy to use. I will surely extend my time and be protected for another year soon!
