Hotspot Shield Error.... "Seems like the connection is taking a bit longer than usual."

Hotspot Shield is giving me an error... And I think it is firewall against firewall.

With a paid version of Malwarebytes installed, this message just wont go away. I am wondering if this has to do with Mojave Firewall settings or Malwarebytes' Firewall settings.

"HydraTunnelProvider (Not Responding)". Turns out, there was an application in the Force Quit window, having no more than to do with an error of connectivity, happening to few out there: and I'm One of them : (


It is an issue that Hotspot Shield is aware of. Force quitting it is OK, as it gets everything up and running again.
