It's an ad supported freeware app (you can configure your install to omit the toolbar) which creates a virtual private network and hides your IP address, which enables people like me who live outside of the US to watch Hulu and other blocked US content, which is why I'm thinking of installing this.
Download is here:

Haven't found a ton of reviews on it and am concerned that it might cause problems with connecting to poker rooms. Thoughts? Experience?

meh...the review searches I've done give me conflicting information about this...some people love it, some people report problems. I don't run a laptop or wireless for that matter so I don't need to worry about sidejacking, so i'm gonna pass on installing this just to access blocked content.

I am running on Windows XP and have used it for over a year now and it works great for me. I would suggest for the few where it is not working to check for any new upgrades for it doesnt do it for it self just a suggestion
