Security problems?

8ch.net, adios-hola.org and TorrentFreak say that, using Hola, you become an exit node of p2p VPN.
According to them, during the idle period of your PC, Hola VPN sells users' bandwidth to other people, like Luminati.io

Here is the reply by Hola Ltd.

So how much bandwidth is this really “costing” you? On average about 6MB per day now, which is like an additional 3 web page loads per day or 15 seconds of a YouTube clip. You can choose this “value exchange” model, or opt out with the Hola premium ($5 per month).

This is a program I actually can't recommend anyone as it turns your computer into a VPN server. This means that every abusive action another Hola user commits on the internet you might be hold responsible for that. So, yeah, it's very hard to proof but it doesn't look good having the cops in your doorstep.

Great article. The DNS option is better than using a VPN regarding content streaming because you can achieve direct connection with the media station ex. Netflix and avoid the “middle-man”. Personally, I am using UnoTelly which is similar toHola. Perhaps you should check UnoTelly as well if you haven’t done so.
