Hola is een "gratis" VPN service wat o.a. geoblocking kan tegen gaan. Wat veel gebruikers niet weten is dat bij deze dienst de internet verbindingen worden gebruikt van andere gebruikers van de dienst en andersom. Jouw verbinding kan dus ook worden misbruikt voor illegale doeleinden zonder dat je daar iets van weet.
"When a user installs Hola, he becomes a VPN endpoint, and other users of the Hola network may exit through his internet connection and take on his IP. This is what makes it free: Hola does not pay for the bandwidth that its VPN uses at all, and there is no user opt out for this,”
The operators of "exit nodes" for the Tor anonymity network have had similar issues. Being a Hola peer is more or less equivalent to running a Tor exit from home - something the EFF even explicitly recommends against.

And on some systems, it gets worse; Hola will happily run whatever you feed it as the 'SYSTEM' user. What this means in simple terms, is that somebody can completely compromise your system, beyond any repair. It allows for installing things like a rootkit, for example.
