I'm not familiar with hotspot shield, but it sounds like an anonymizer-which *is* different from a VPN. An anonymizer might hide where you're coming from, but it doesn't show you as coming from someplace else. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) actually logs you into a network at a location remote from you. Once logged in you can do whatever is allowed on that network-such as running a browser session on that network. The location that *that* browser comes from is, of course, the location of the network.
