Hop Connect for Android

11 things about Hop Connect

1. - Excels at providing Internet access, since you're not using the IP address of a shared VPN server.

2. Leave the Hop server running on a Mac at home while you travel, and you can get your home Internet beamed to you, anywhere.

3. But unlike a subscription VPN, your traffic goes through your own personal server at home, not an IP shared by hundreds of users simultaneously.

4. Before Hop, running a home-based VPN service with Internet forwarding was reserved for the few tinkerers or professionals with the know-how to set one up.

5. The Hop Connect app is a free download, and you can use it without a paid subscription to connect to other users' Hop servers, if they share them with you.

6. Each provides access to the Hop service, allowing you to host up to 5 of your own Hop server instances.

7. If you leave Hop running on a Mac at home when you travel, you can use the Hop app on iOS or Mac to connect to your home Internet.

8. - The actions of some users (i.e. getting blacklisted from websites) doesn't affect all the other users of the service, since they're not sharing the same IP addresses.

9. Access the Internet safely and securely, without the uncertainties of a third-party VPN provider or unknown ISP.

10. The VPN routes your traffic to the outside Internet, just like a subscription-based VPN service.

11. Hop lets you share your home Internet connection with yourself and your friends, anywhere in the world.
