Why are you installing a firewall-like program in Wine? You're better off with a native linux firewall like Guarddog or gufw.

Actually this is not a firewall-like program. Hotspot Shield is a VPN application which enables you to connect the servers based on the US and get a US-based IP. This feature enables you browse the websites that are prepared for US residants only.

And this information does not change anything. I as well cannot use Hotspot Shield in Ubuntu.

Is something on Ubuntu that can replace HotSpot shield ?

Windows alternatives are http://www.anonymizer.com/ and http://www.proxyway.com/.

Well what I did in the past was to download a VpnClient for windows (NOT HotspotShield) which is usually supporting OpenVpn and install it in wine (well Iuse PlayOnLinux but a new wine bottle would suffice), I digg into the installed version and look for a "ca.crt", "clien.crt" and "client.key" file (actual names might differ) and also have a look in the client.conf or client.ovpn ie. the client configuration text file.

Copy them to Linux (Fedora I am sorry) and use Network Manager to create a new OpenVPN account. You of course need to install network manager (this is installed by default in most distributions) and open vpn:

yum install openvpn

or as you chaps are used to:

sudo apt-get install openvpn (???)

Point to the certificates you just copied over and use the proxy/port you found in the client.conf file of the windoze distro.

BTW. you can now delete the wine bottle alltogether no need for windoze junck in your disk!

A word o caution: some providers use openvpn windoze specific stuff ex: "push ip-win32" and openvpn breaks in network manager (well would be interested in a suggestion on how to make it work)

Personally I use SecurityKiss for US based address annomizer they allow ports 80 and 433 for their free version but speeds are excellent 1.5Mb/s (they offer other addresses in Europe as well)
