That's correct

dr-PHP
Yes, that's correct. We need to put some our secrets to the credentials storage.

Note: actually our application do not asks for your passwords or any of your credentials. It is Android's default dialog. We do not store any of your credential! BTW, we can't get it because of permissions.

When I installed on my G2 it instructed me to enter proxy settings. It would then only let me use it on a mobile network and not wifi. It didn't connect most of the time. When I uninstalled, it apparently did not remove the proxy information. I could not browse the internet for 2 days on mobile, only wifi. I finally downloaded Proxy Settings app so I could remove the information and browse again.

Sorry for inconvenience

fied1k, we are working on our service. Sometimes our servers can be unreachable, but not all the time.
We know that some firmwares contain "broken" VPN implementation (main reason: carrier/vendor changes). We are providing secured IPSEC connection. Most part of VPN clients for Android provide unsecured PPTP connection with disabled encryption.

We are working on this issue.

Proxy is the fallback for you if we can't use VPN on your device. But unfortunately now it can work only in 3G/4G. Or you can use Opera Mobile/Firefox where you can configure proxy settings.

In latest version, if you are using proxy, you can uninstall application from itself. You will see "Uninstall" button on the app main screen.
BTW if you re-install app and if it detects that you have changed proxy settings - it will asks you to erase it.

    We are working on it.
    support for 4.x - in progress.
    The main reason that after beta and release we have a lot of users and we detected a lot of problems with devices.
    2
    Only Android 2.x supported

    EP2008, only Android 2.x supported for now.
    We are working on Android 3.x/Android 4.x support.
    2
    FYI
    support for android 4.x is almost here.
    it's completely different with android 2.x, so we did a lot of work
    it's on the testing stage.
    we have to made a lot of tests before release it
    please be patient

    Just downloaded HSS and was using it . It seems to disconnect from time to time.

    Then i went with buying the monthly subscription for 1.99$ and got the google play receipt, however it doesnt say anything in the app that i am on elite. Still get ads when browsing through hss.

    I checked it with another galaxy s3 too and same result. App doesnt acknowledge your subscription and the option doesnt get enabled in the ui.
    Galaxy s3 i9300 android 4.1.1.

    Please send me PM with IMEI of your device and receipt number.
