Dropped connections, lying about locations, slow speed Dropped connections. Often abysmal speeds. They lie about the location where you will appear after connecting to a remote location in another country. It seems you select New York, NY for example and when you check the IP address with "What's My IP Address?" it will show London, UK, or Miami, FL? WTH?!!?!

Stay away Omg!! They charge you but don’t deliver. I signed up as I needed it urgently, but despite paying, it still kept on saying no active subscription when logging in. Scam. I ended up buying elsewhere. Regret ever giving my details out to this (at best) amateurish biz or (at worst) fraudulent scam show.

Easy to boot and no bloatware. I used a competitor and it started out fine but then they added more and more crap, constant updates and their two-factor authentication was a nightmare. A new neighbor suggested HMA so I tried it. Easy to use. I get to specify where in the U.S. I am connecting through and the connection process is easy. The connection for streaming is a little slow at times, particularly evenings. I'll have to wait until football season before you get the fifth star.

Why I will not renew with HMA I've been an HMA user for a few years. Why ? First because of price, HMA beeing cheaper than others. Because the interface is easy. And that is all the positive. The negative list is longer. - Big mix up upon subscription that ended in double subscription. - Customer service selectively responds to questions. Anything controversial, for example about finances, is ignored. - If you want to use HMA to work around geographical blocs from other service providers (TV services for example) HMA DOESN'T WORK period. Their IPs get detected. - some of their IPs are extremely slow. I do not recommend HMA and personally I will not renew.

No cancellation option Gave no option to cancel the free trial so I emailed on day 1 asking them to cancel it manually. Got charged for a year’s subscription on day 7. Ignored my emails for 3 months until Amex contacted them to dispute the charge. Luckily Amex refunded me without questions. And a few months later, I received an email from HMA asking me to review them, so thanks for the reminder! Would give zero stars if I could.
