Hotspot Shield stands out as one of the top five Facebook circumvention tools, effectively replacing Ultrasurf. The software also enables access to other blocked websites. Its primary function is to create a virtual private network allowing users to bypass firewalls and access restricted websites.
Illustration of the commonly encountered Bandwidth Limit Reached for this Site error on Hotspot Shield
Hotspot Shield offers two versions: free and paid. The free version has a drawback of limiting bandwidth to about 750 MB for a 24-hour period. Consequently, users often encounter errors like 'Bandwidth Limit Reached for this Site' when accessing websites. Naturally, with this error, users cannot access Facebook blocked by Hotspot Shield. The main reason is that you have exceeded the allowed bandwidth limit.
Unlimited Access on Hotspot Shield
Unlimited Access with Chrome and Firefox browsers
Accessing unlimited content on Chrome and Firefox browsers is quite simple. You just need to add the Adblock Plus extension to increase the browser's bandwidth limit. The reason is that browser ads often consume a lot of actual bandwidth that the browser uses.
Unlimited Access with Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge browser

Step 1: Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options
Step 2: Click on the Security tab > select Restricted sites and then press the Sites button.
Step 3: In the Add this website to the zone dialog box, you enter: anchorfree.net into the empty box and press Add and the URL will appear in the Websites box. Then press Add and Close.
