Talk:Proxy Connection and Troubleshooting/@comment-26427449-20150810141128/@comment-26289928-20150817030031

Hello,

first of all, thank you for posting a comment here. We're glad to know that some users are experimenting with different forms of proxy, however, I would like to point out that Hola is susceptible to a variety of exploitations, both from the connection side and the receiving (user) side.

For futher information on how your internet connection and your computer can be exploited, please read the following articles:

tl;dr: attackers can make use of your internet connection by intercepting the connection and using it from between servers; hackers can easily enter and manipulate your computer because hola uses your root/kernel.

Just. For the sake of your computer and overall security, don't use Hola.
