Once you have downloaded it, SpotFlux runs silently in the background and sits in your system tray. This is great for those who are paying for a proxy service, but it unfortunately doesn't provide a built-in proxy like TunnelBear. If you require a proxy, Spotflux will let you enter in your proxy server manually. It is still recommended that you run an antivirus program alongside though.

This is a nice buffer between you and an infection.

Like Hotspot Shield, Spotflux also offers malware and virus protection. This also means that you won't be tracked online and it will help save a little bandwidth since you don't have to load heavy flash ads. There are browser extensions that do this, but it's nice to have Spotflux block advertisements system-wide. One of the coolest features of the premium version is its ability to block ads. You get tons of extra features if you upgrade. You will also see sponsored adverts in the free version. Currently, the only features available with the free version are web encryption and the ability to hide your IP address, the rest you will have to upgrade to premium to access.
