It was also unclear to me how the browser extension could be used to share user's traffic; it didn't seem like the extension did that, but I didn't read the source code too carefully.
Does anyone has a copy of these extensions?
I am disappointed the Windows and Android apps were vulnerable and that Hola didn't market their software better. It's probably the coolest app since Napster. Yes, it's a botnet of sorts, but the Internet needs a way to let users disassociate themselves from IP addresses. And most proxy services are easily identified.
