VPN For Hacking

Well I've been talking with hackers and doing some research and people that got certain hacks to work without being banned said to use a really good VPN. I'm not the most experienced in this field so I don't exactly know what a "good" VPN is. I was hoping that I could get some recommendations but I do have a couple that I would like to run past you guys and see if they are a "good" VPN. The first is "Hotspot Shield" and the second is "Cyber Ghost". I hope that this also helps others out there with the same problem.

I'm mainly looking for free VPNs but free trials for half a year is nice. Also, I still want to know if the two that I suggested are decent enough.

At first: Not sure if a VPN prevents you getting banned on games like Tribes Ascend...

A VPN I always use is "GetPrivate" it is quite good freeware. Or Hotspot shield, but the ads that Hotspot shield has are annoying so I have a chrome addon with a simple script to disable that from happening
