Hola is a new service let you access videos on Hulu, Pandora, Netflix, CBS, Fox, BBC iPlayer TV, and iTV from any bumfuck country. To try it out, download the extension for Google Chrome or the add-on for Mozilla Firefox. Windows users who aren’t using either of those browsers can download the standalone client, which offers a bit more features.

The free VPN "Hola" turns out to be a cure worse than the disease.

'Free' VPN Hola is LITERALLY flogging access to users' devices
Selling something to you, or selling you to something?
theregister.co.uk 29 May 2015
The VPN service Hola, which claims to have more than 9.7 million users, is now selling its access to users' machines as exit-nodes under the Luminati brand.
Described as "the world's largest VPN network", Hola's Luminati brand is advertised as being simple and effective to use: "Route your HTTP, HTTPS or TLS requests to any one of our 'Super Proxies', and they will route the requests through our millions of end nodes."
Users of Hola route their traffic through each others' devices, thus freeing the company from those tricky bandwidth expenses.
Those "end nodes" are idling user devices which have Hola's "free" VPN browser extension or app on them, in another example of users being the product rather than the customer.
