I used Hotspot shield and it completely messed with my vpn config, some reason now after I used hotspot shield and uninstalling it, it won't let me use another VPN.
I don't recommend Hotspot shield, but it's alright if you're on mac, but it's up to you bro.
I recommend cyberghost, I got to use it before my computer let me down on this case.
It's pretty neat, you should try it, but the Hotspot shield thing.. yeah, it's hard to fix.
I never was able to fix it, so I have no clue.
I probably think hotspot shield works in routers to answer this question, but I'd just not do it If I were you.
heeheh, sorry. peace peace.
