I’ve been using several VPN services to prevent Geoblocking, and not to anonymize in a security sense. They all slowed down my surf speed considerably.
As far as goes for Hola, it seems only to slow down my surf speed a little, and only on the site I’m trying to unblock – All my other open tabs works perfectly normal.
For my needs their service is perfect, but all that FREE talk, kinda makes me suspicious! What is their real agenda? What do they harvest?
I’m using the Firefox plugin, BTW.
