Company details

  1. VPN Service

Information provided by various external sources

The Web used to be a wild frontier that transcended geographical and political boundaries, and gave people anonymity and freedom. Anyone could go online to share ideas and access anything from anywhere. Now, the Web has become dangerously fragmented along country lines. Everything people do online is tracked, packaged, and sold, or used to control what they can see and do — with consequences that are becoming all too clear every day. HMA brings back online privacy so people can once again experience freedom on the Web. We’ve been around for a long time: We were one of the founders of this whole consumer VPN game. We make sure people can access what they want, from wherever they are, and stay private doing so.

Cancelling subscriptions

Cancelling subscriptions.

I wanted to put this out there as I see many have had the same issue with HMA VPN customer service and cancelling.

After reading through all my emails, I found that to cancel, you need to go through the payment provider. If I assume its the same for all of us, you have to find the email that contains the transaction information from 2Checkout .. From there you can manage your subscription. Hope that helps others.

100% scammers. This is not a legit business

Worst "customer service" I have ever dealt with.

I bought the VPN for a whole year and logged into my phone without a problem. I have a subscription for multiple devices, so I wanted to login to my PC as well.

I can log in with the same username and password, but in the PC app, it says I have no subscription.

I contact the customer service 3 times over a month, I get the "thank you for you email" auto reply, and then nothing happens.

HMA is 100% a scam, do NOT USE THIS.

Wish I'd read the reviews on here…

Wish I'd read the reviews on here first!

Very bad product. Stopped working on all devices. Then doesn't let you login.

Customer service is non existent - emails are just ignored.

Wish I hadn't signed up for another year

HMA (Hide My Ass) country IP locations are fake

Not for advanced users. The biggest problem with HMA (Hide My Ass) is false country locations / IPs. They claim and offer you to select an IP from many "exotic" countries, however these are all fake. For example you have the option to select Australia, New Zealand, Israel, etc., but in reality you just get assigned a German or Czech IP, for example. At least I do (based in Central Europe). So basically false advertising.

Extremely Disappointed and Feel Scammed by HMA

I strongly advise everyone to stay away from HMA (HideMyAss).
My experience with them has been absolutely terrible and feels like a scam.

I disabled automatic renewal on their website, but they still charged my PayPal account automatically through 2Checkout (Verifone) without my consent.

I immediately contacted their support team multiple times through email and the official website — no response at all for several days.

During my trial period, their VPN service didn’t even work properly — I couldn’t connect to any servers, and the speed was extremely poor when it did connect.

Their refund policy claims that users can request a refund within 30 days, but they completely ignore refund requests and never reply.

This company’s practices are misleading and unethical. They take your money, ignore your emails, and provide a product that doesn’t even function properly.

Have been with HMA VPN for several…

Have been with HMA VPN for several years. The last time I renewed my contract was on January 10th 2022, for three years plus extra months. It is due for renewal on the 22nd October 2025. However, I have had several problems with HMA VPN in the past. Over a week ago, I could not use HMA to download files over the internet at all, contacted support for assistance, and received no reply apart from an automatic reply email saying somebody would be in touch to assist. As this has not happened, I will not be renewing and have joined Nord VPN, so please read the star rating on Trustpilot before joining HMA VPN and save yourselves problems.

Unstable VPN, Fake Commitments

They commitment for best streaming but it's joke. No streaming works on it. When you connected to it and try to login Netflix and other streaming platforms. It never connect. Ip shuffling is only for little privacy. Because it only support openvpn which us blocked in many countries

Horrible customer service, software not running on Mac

Been trying to install for 3 months on my Mac. The support sends me a reply after making me wait two weeks. I do what they say, delete files in Library redownload and still I get the message HMA already installed.
I asked for a refund as I haven't been able to use if for 3 months and they said no. I feel stuck!

Too Many Virtual Servers – Misleading Locations

Paid customer – disappointed. Many servers turn out to be virtual (India shows as UK, Saudi Arabia as Czechia), and my support ticket has gone unanswered for over a week. I just want a clear answer about server types and when (or if) you’ll provide more real-location servers. Hoping for a reply here since direct support was unresponsive.
