> Canonical HTML: https://www.vpnhive.com/hidemyass-review/

Published: 2026-11-01.

HMA, also known as HideMyAss, offers desktop and mobile apps, OpenVPN support and five simultaneous connections on its standard subscription. Family plans cover more devices.

## Who this VPN suits

A simple five-device subscription. Consider the devices you use, the features you need and the length of subscription you are comfortable paying for.

## Plans, pricing and renewal

$2.99 per month equivalent — 36-month standard plan. Check the renewal amount for the selected subscription at checkout.

A monthly equivalent is the subscription charge spread across the advertised term, not a promise of monthly billing. Promotions, taxes and regional prices can change; check the complete charge and renewal terms on the provider's checkout before paying.

## Devices, platforms and protocols

5 standard; 10 with the Family Plan. Platform coverage: Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux. Protocol options include OpenVPN; availability can differ between apps.

## Features to consider

-   Standard and Family plans
-   Desktop and mobile apps
-   Router and Linux setup options

## Privacy and practical limits

Read HMA's privacy policy alongside its IP-address and location-changing features; a new IP does not make browsing anonymous.

A VPN protects traffic within its tunnel. It does not replace operating-system updates, strong account security or a realistic assessment of who can access your device. Router configurations and browser-only extensions can protect different traffic from a full-device VPN app.

## Refund terms

30 days; repeat purchases and late requests have different eligibility. Read the provider's full policy, especially if purchasing through a third-party app store.

## Before you choose

-   Five connections is the standard limit, not ten.
-   Linux and router setup differs from using a desktop or mobile app.
