What are the pros and cons?

Easy to setup, just install the software to your devices
Pros, unlock any blocked website, hide your IP, unlock content not available in your country by changing location.
Cons, possible slower speeds.
I use Hotspot Shield Elite, costs £2.99 a month and provides upto 5 devices to be protected on one account. Currently use this on my Mac and iPhone with no problems. It offers you to connect to the following countries UK, USA, Japan, Australia, Canada and Germany. So far I've found it great for the UK and USA sites. I am on 152mbps broadband with VM but you won't get that behind a VPN as previous comments state from others, you get around 60mbps thats fine for me at least other devices on the network won't slow down. No download data limits. Its available on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. They offer a free trial for elite too.
