The free version is supposed to lack some of the bandwidth that the paid-for version has but I haven't noticed significant impact so far.
It provides access to servers in many countries; 20 I have just counted.
From memory, I don't think hotspot shield is compatible with Linux but it is supposed to be OK for Android systems as well as Windows.

As an update, my free trial "full" version expired and the VPN immediately stopped offering their service routing via a choice of some 20 countries.
I can now route only to their server based in the USA which makes me wonder what difference that makes for my current intended use - to be more secure when using public access wifi?
On the upside, I haven't noticed any intrusive adverts while I continue to test it on my own wifi.
