“My Experince”

Chukwudi U.

They provide a pretty cool VPN service but I noticed it works better on my laptop than phone. Hola VPN is the first community powered (Peer-to-Peer) VPN, where users help each other to make the web accessible for all, by sharing their idle resources

“Dangerous VPN: Avoid using Hola VPN”

Marie N.
11/9/22

Using Hola VPN puts your privacy, identity, and online security at major risk. Hola VPN is a highly risky service. Its "community-powered" model means that the VPN shares your idle bandwidth with other users, permitting unauthorized activity to occur on your network. Safety is a major concern when using Hola VPN, especially for free users. The service works on the premise of "sharing resources," which means your bandwidth is shared with other users. Here's a summary of the security risks of Hola VPN: Hola VPN offers secure protocols only to premium users. Hola VPN claims to encrypt data, but this is only available for premium users. Hola VPN collects a lot of user data for both free and premium users. Hola VPN doesn't have a kill switch. The service is not transparent about how it keeps you safe, making it highly suspicious and risky. You could unknowingly become complicit in cybercrime if someone uses your bandwidth to perform illegal activities online using Hola VPN. In fact, Hola VPN has been in the news before for its malpractice of selling users' bandwidth to botnets. Additionally, the Hola browser extension has been removed from the Google Chrome web store due to the associated risks. The best VPNs do not collect user data to maintain privacy and help you browse anonymously. Such services are known as "no-logs" VPNs. Unfortunately, Hola VPN is on the other end of the spectrum and collects virtually all your usage information, including: Your IP address, Your name and email address, Browser type and operating system used, Web pages visited and time spent on them, Payment information, and more. Hola VPN does not offer a kill switch.
