Require additional privacy? Don’t want to leave your data on the table while surfing the web on your iPhone? Lucky you, AnchorFree made its popular Hotspot Shield security solution available for free for the iPhone users. Whether you’re using a 3G or WiFi, the application will keep Internet sessions 100% secure and anonymous.

Hotspot Shield for iPhone is an extension of AnchorFree’s flagship security product for laptops and desktops, which is currently used by millions of people across 190 countries, an increase of more than 500% in 2008. Hotspot Shield is the world’s first free consumer Virtual Private Network (VPN) that allows users to surf the web, email, conduct business, pay bills or shop online securely. Hotspot Shield for iPhone provides the same standard of security for mobile users, and works in any country where the iPhone is available.

Commenting on the announcement, AnchorFree’s CEO David Gorodyansky said: “Hotspot Shield for iPhone offers a free way for savvy, security-conscious consumers to now use the iPhone securely. We’ve created the ultimate defense for iPhone users jumping from one 3G/Wi-Fi network to the next.”
