  • Have you tried “-disconnect”?

  • @Ramhound yes, -disconnect doesn't work

  • What documentation did you learn about -connect?

  • @Ramhound in the previous versions there were no need to "-connect", but after updating to version 7 it needs to write -connect at the end of the command. I tested it, but I couldn't find a command for disconnecting

I know this is a very old thread, but this could be useful to someone. It's a horrible (outdated) hack using powershell and relies on sending a keyboard shortcut (look under hotspot shield's settings -> shortcuts).

# Powershell
Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.VisualBasic
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
# This will bring window to the front, (will not open multiple instances of the exe)
Start-Process "C:\Program Files (x86)\Hotspot Shield\10.22.5\bin\hsscp.exe" 
Start-Sleep -Seconds 1   # for the window to show
# Activate the Hotspot Shield window to make sure send keys 'hits' the right window
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate("Hotspot Shield")
# Send ctrl+shift+c to toggle between connect and disconnect
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("^+c")
# Wait for it to connect/disconnect
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
# Your adapter may have a different name just use Get-NetAdapter for a list of all adapters
Get-NetAdapter -InterfaceDescription "HotspotShield TAP-Windows Adapter V9" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Status
#

Note:- takes a while to connect hence the 5 second wait before checking status - disconnect is quicker.

Does anyone know why 'hsscp start' and 'hsscp stop' does not work?
