is there anyway someone could explain basically how a vpn works (specifically "HotSpot Shield)? I am asking because i can't figured out if I am getting hacked or if the network is supposed to do this?
Whenever I connect to a wireless network, hotspot shield secures the connection and then i see another "unknown network" connection in my taskbar (windows 7) next to my regular connection. Is it supposed to do that??
At first I thought I was getting hacked (am i?) but then i noticed that this unknown network appears right after hotspotshield secures my wireless connection. Is this working correctly or is something suspicious going on??
Please explain in simple simple terms because I am not an advanced IT guy... I downloaded this hotspot shield because i was told i should always use a vpn when connecting to hotspots (which i use alot)
thanks!
