Moreover, despite its claims of being a good choice for streaming, Hola VPN falls short in this area as well. Additionally, Hola VPN’s lack of encryption and data logging policies can leave users exposed to cyber threats. The fact that it shares your idle bandwidth with other users makes it vulnerable to unauthorized activity on your network, potentially putting your personal information at risk.

However, upon closer inspection, we found that Hola VPN isn’t a secure VPN service. The company also offers a premium subscription and a corporate service named Luminati. Hola Networks Limited provides a free consumer VPN service, which has a simple interface and enables users to access blocked websites and mask their IP addresses. The product gained popularity in January 2013 when its downloads surged from 80 per day to 40,000 overnight.

Hola VPN is a Virtual Private Network service founded in Israel by Ofer Vilenski and Derry Shribman in 2012.
