I've used HMA in the past to change the country I look like I'm in,
works well for that purpose. It does slow the connection down but then I
am in Japan and was trying to look like I was in the UK, which may have
had something to do with it...
Depending on your needs a free solution may get you what you need. If
you want to be able to access, for example, home computers while on the
go, the free software included in Debian "openvpn" does a great job for
that. I've been using that a lot recently to work on home programming
projects while away from home on business trips.
But to answer your question, yes I've used HMA, find it to work very
well, but if you choose a country other than the one you are in you need
to recognise you just lengthened your computer's path to the internet
and correspondingly you will see a reduction in bandwidth / transfer
rate. I found I could stream video using HMA, but I had to put up with
occasional slowdowns and, very occasionally, not being able to scrape
together enough speed for streaming to work at all.
