ich nehme an, dass hier einige hola nutzen werden.

To understand the issue here, it’s important to understand how Hola works. Since it’s a peer-to-peer VPN, users in one place (say, Europe) that want to “appear” in another place (like America) are essentially routed through a user in their desired location. That means, unless you pay for Hola premium, you act as an “exit node” for other users, similar to services like Tor.

Hola Better Internet is a popular Firefox and Chrome extension that allows you to watch blocked content overseas. However, there’s something more nefarious going on behind the scenes: the company is selling the bandwidth of Hola users to anyone with money to buy, effectively turning its users into a botnet for hire.To understand the issue here, it’s important to understand how Hola works.
