No, Hotspot Shield cannot be tracked — at least not under normal circumstances. A VPN, by its very nature, routes your internet connection through a remote server, which makes it hard for hackers to follow you. In addition, Hotspot Shield conceals your IP address behind a shared address, so it’s impossible for anyone to monitor your browsing activity. Add security features such as a kill switch and a strict privacy policy, and you can see it’s virtually impossible for anyone to track you if you’re using the Hotspot Shield VPN. We should note, however, that Hotspot Shield is located in the U.S., which means government agencies can subpoena user records. The company’s privacy policy ensures it has nothing to turn over, though, even when subpoenaed.
