Yeah hotspot shield works, but we really shouldn't be required to install another program just to get something as simple as logging in and updating to work. Shame on you, Valve. Everyone, just go complain to them. I tried it but I forgot to mention I didn't have any incompatible programs running and they replied by linking me to the page which lists the incompatible programs.

Hey Hotspot decided to put ads in the steam client? WTF! Now any link I click in the client also opens a new window showing some anchorfree hotspot bullshit.
