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.

Has been a customer for years but no iPlayer Has been a customer for years but the bad performance and lack of support over the last months has sent me to a competitor. The VPN does not support BBC iPlayer use from outside UK. I have two support cases about this but no reply from the company

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.

Useless with Linux Useless with Linux. Have never been able to connect (all connection instructions point you to *.ovpn files on pages that 404 out), yet the company keeps charging me monthly. Customer service is unresponsive or unhelpful. I don't need my hand held, but I can't connect when I'm pointed to config files don't exist!

Disappointing, not recommend at all Disappointing, not recommend at all. The service used to be good but now there is only 6 streaming servers. None of them is working with Disney + Android TV app is not allowing to connect on them as well. When reporting the issue, custommer care just say you should try & retry. They’re not proposing reimbursment even if the service is not any more what you’ve paid for.
