1. Download the App:

   • Visit the official Hotspot Shield website (https://www.hotspotShield.net/).

   • Choose a custom domain (optional) or select a predefined domain.
   • Select an external Wi-Fi hotspot (e.g., Wi-Fi 6) from the list of available options.
   • Set the speed and block any unwanted websites or services.

4. Activate the Account:

Important Notes

• External Wi-Fi Hotspot is Required: You must connect to an external Wi-Fi hotspot to use Hotspot Shield VPN. If you don't have an external hotspot, you can still use the VPN on your home Wi-Fi, but it won't be as reliable.

• Be Careful with External Hotspots: Avoid connecting to external Wi-Fi hotspots from work or home. Some services (like Google or Facebook) may block access if they detect unusual activity.

• Test on a Different Hotspot: To ensure your VPN connection is working, test it on a different Wi-Fi hotspot.
