How does a VPN unblock Snapchat?

Hotspot Shield VPN switches out your real IP address and replaces it with a “fake” IP address in another location. This means people can’t trace where you are, which is perfect for protecting your online privacy and securing your device against hackers. But also, it’s perfect for bypassing content restrictions—like you’d find on a school or office network. With Hotspot Shield VPN connected, you are effectively invisible online. So the WiFi network you’re connected to doesn’t know what sites or apps you’re on. And if it can’t tell you’re on Snapchat, it can’t block you.
