Hidester VPN is a relatively new comer in Virtual Private Network (VPN) service provider which was introduced earlier this year and had been quickly expanding their service since. The Hidester company is based in Hong Kong – a country which does not impose any data retention law which is ideal for them to implement zero logging policy. Hidester is  still in the beta phase currently therefore the application itself is not flawless but thanks to their friendly and responsive customer support, users can seek for help easily.
