Browsing US restricted website on your iPhone is easy since Hotspot Shield allows L2TP/IPSec connections. Here is a step-by-step tutorial that shows how to setup Hotspot Shield on iPhone.

1. Turn off WiFi. Find the VPN settings in Settings -> General -> Network -> VPN -> Add VPN Configuration.

Visit Hotspot Shield's iPhone page here. Then click "Get Account ID". This will be your account and password for entering below:

Select the IPSec tab/pane
Description: HotspotShield
Server: 68.68.107.101
Account: [enter info after clicking Get Account ID]
Password: [enter info after clicking Get Account ID]
Use Certificate: OFF
Group Name: hss
Secret: hss

2. Save the settings and hit the "HOME" button to quit. Make sure to turn Wi-Fi back "ON".

3. To activate Hotspot Shield on your iPhone, the VPN setting needs to be turned on.

Settings –> VPN –> ON

If you entered your info correctly, your status will change to "Connected" and you'll see a VPN icon appear at the top tray. If you can't connect, power down your phone, and turn it back on and try again.

Hotspot Shield workes over both 3G and WiFi.

Accessing US-IP Only Websites

With Hotspot Shield's VPN enabled, you can watch content from the US such as The Daily Show or Pandora.

It seems that the VPN turns itself off after a brief period of time. Nonetheless, for a free VPN solution on the iPhone, Hotspot Shield does the job for your immediate needs. If you are interested in more prefessional and reliable solution you should check iPhone VPN providers.
