Hello, Im not able to connect to hotspot sheild V1.49, using XP and Mcafee antivirus, i get the following error
C:\DOCUME~1\Freek\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8f63.dir00\open vpn.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Freek\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8f63.dir00\appc ompat.txt

C:\DOCUME~1\Freek\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8f63.dir00\appc ompat.txt

That's not an error, that's a list of files.

Does Hotspot Shield have bandwidth limit?

No. You can use Hotspot Shield as much as you would like.

That's a Facebook link, don't make me click it. Post a screenshot.

Anyway, if that page is official, they must have removed the 5GB/month/MAC limitation. Many people didn't know they could bypass that by changing their MAC, so prepare for the extra load...

A lot of people in the Middle East and Asia use HSS to bypass their countries' filters.

Hi !
I was looking for a way to accomplish this for weeks !

Unfortunately, I could'nt make it work. Maybe due to last version of HSS ? I can't find any "remote server" line in the config files anymore.

Would you have any updated instructions please ? It would also be fantastic if it worked with portable openvpn version !

Thanks a lot for your help !

I can't find any "remote server" line in the config files anymore.

I think the server address is "injected" into the custom OpenVPN executable nowadays. Did you try skipping that step and using the EXE file that comes bundled with HSS?

Thanks for your quick answer !

I guess you're meaning the openvpn.exe ? Actually I did it following strictly the instructions from the post.
But finally it works !
I simply added the "remote hss.anchorfree.net 8044" line into the config.opvn file.

(I also reinstalled the HSS app first, instead of simply copying files extracted from another pc, maybe this was necessary to register some dlls..)

Unfortunately, my other vpn configs/profiles don't work anymore on this same openvpn mod version :(

PS. portability:
The same mod to bin/config folders (portableapps) looks to be working !
I'm not convinced it's still portable (not writing anything), at least, it seems it is for install/uninstall of TAP drivers, and can be launched from an usb drive..
(I haven't tested it yet on another pc or fresh install without existing TAP Drivers)

I'm also trying to do the same with the other VPN from anchorfree : expatshield.com that gives UK IP.

It's exactly the same files than HSS install.
But I'm desperately trying to find the server name/IP to replace the "remote hss.anchorfree.net 8044" line...

Is there any way to "sniff" it when we connect with the original client ? I cant find any clues in logs.

Thanks again !

Thank you, didn't know about that one. I'll have a look.

You can use Process Explorer to see what command-line parameters openvpn.exe has been launched with. That may tell you the right server address.

Here is a small update :

- Once modified, it's the authentication process that prevent openvpn to run any other vpn profile than HSS. I'm afraid there's no way to fix it..

- About portability : I tried on a fresh install and it's actually not working. Its Connexion is looking for the TAP adapters installed with the original HSS installation. Modified openvpn works only when HSS client has already been installed on the pc. Doesn't works any more after a "proper" uninstall, but it's possible to manually delete the HSS files and folders from the machine. Same for a non portable openvpn.

- for ES remote server, I'm quite optimistic about finding something interisting whith WireShark !
