    Default Need techie advice on Hotspot Shield

    It's an ad supported freeware app (you can configure your install to omit the toolbar) which creates a virtual private network and hides your IP address, which enables people like me who live outside of the US to watch Hulu and other blocked US content, which is why I'm thinking of installing this.

    Download is here:

    Haven't found a ton of reviews on it and am concerned that it might cause problems with connecting to poker rooms. Thoughts? Experience?

    This should probably be must install for anyone that plays poker on a laptop at Wi-Fi hotspots, btw.

    meh...the review searches I've done give me conflicting information about this...some people love it, some people report problems. I don't run a laptop or wireless for that matter so I don't need to worry about sidejacking, so i'm gonna pass on installing this just to access blocked content.
