Not too long ago reddit taught me about Hola, just thought i’d pass it along to anyone who didnt know.
Be aware that Hola will use you as a exit node or as an intermediate node if you’re not paying for premium. If somebody does something malicious and you’re the exit node then you may be liable for it depending on your country of residence. If you’re just an intermediate node in their P2P network then you’ll have some of your upstream/downstream used up by Hola when it is running.
Apparently Hola is malware, try [zenmate] (http://zenmate.com) instead,
It’s worth noting that if you have a DvD plan from Netflix, this method does not work. You will get the message, “Unfortunately your account is restricted to streaming only within the 50 United States and its territories.” due to your mailing address being in the USA.
If your account is streaming-only, any global VPN will work. As others have noted, using Hola can potentially put you in some unsavory circumstances. If you’re planning on doing this regularly, you should probably find a different VPN.
Someone also stated that Hola contains malware.
Only thing I suggest to everyone is to disable hola when you don’t need it.
Its written in their fine print that they are using your data and reselling it. So… Ya…
Please read the fine print before you install it.
I gave up on all those Netflix/Hulu circumvention tricks. Now I just use Popcorntime…
Just a little tip, turn it off if you’re looking at porn. I got blocked yesterday because i was using a uk vpn.
but not when my netflix account says it only works in the US…sadly
iam amazed that we pay more in the UK (£5.99 for basic) which is more than america ($7.99=£4.74), yet we have access to a third of what american do (over 15,000 titles USA/ UK under 5000 titles. What the heck netflix?! Ps do any americans know if taxes are paid on top of the 7.99, that would make me feel a bit better…)
A prime example of why copyright law is completely ridiculous and the Internet should be treated like another country instead of try to implement arbitrary geographic restrictions.
TIL I have access to more titles on Netlflix in Norway than the Swedes have.
All is right in the world.
Google failed to deliver me something that told me where to find specific titles, so I was just randomly selecting other countries to view Netflix from. Thanks for telling me about this!
Zenmate is far superior
This is the one that only works if you watch netflix through your web browser right? Also /r/cordcutters
Hola can suck a dick.
I used it in germany a couple weeks ago…it really works
Here is what the linked meme says in case it is blocked at your school/work or is unavailable for any reason:
