In this review, SafeHome.org’s VPN expert Derek Prall takes an in-depth look at the cheeky #HideMyAss #VPN. He breaks down the service’s pros and cons, runs through its day-to-day use, gives you a quick look at its performance, and gives some insight on how to optimize the service for special use cases.
HideMyAss, or #HMA for short, was founded in 2005 by a 16-year-old student who wanted to bypass his school’s network restrictions on videogames and file sharing. That subversive spirit permeates throughout this #VPN service, which specializes in P2P file sharing and streaming.
This user-friendly VPN has a huge network backing it - one of the largest on the planet - which means you’ll likely experience very little latency while using the service, and their no-log policy means you’re going to be protected from prying eyes at all times. While there aren’t too many bells and whistles here, HMA will certainly get the job done for most users.
