Hola is a freemium web and mobile application which claims to provide a faster, private and more secure Internet. It provides a form of virtual private network services to its users through a peer-to-peer network. It also uses peer-to-peer caching. When a user accesses certain domains that are known to use geo-blocking, the Hola application redirects the request to go through the computers and internet connections of other users in non-blocked areas, thereby circumventing the blocking. This also means that other users might access the internet through one's own computer, and that part of one's upload bandwidth might be used for serving cached data to other users.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thenextweb.com/apps/2013/01/24/sweet-hola-lets-you-use-hulu-pandora-netflix-cbs-fox-bbc-iplayer-tv-and-itv-from-any-country/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.businessinsider.com/hola-tv-watch-olympics-vpn-blocker-netflix-world-2014-1?IR=T )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://lifehacker.com/5978591/hola-unblocker-gives-you-access-to-iplayer-netflix-pandora-hulu-and-more-regardless-of-region )〕 Paying users can choose to redirect all requests to peers but are themselves never used as peers. ==History== In 1998, Ofer Vilenski and Derry Shribman founded KRFTech, a software development tools company. With the profits from the company, they started Jungo in 2000 to develop an operating system for home gateways. In 2006 NDS (Cisco) acquired Jungo for $107 million. In 2008, Vilenski and Shribman started investigating the idea of re-inventing HTTP by building a peer-to-peer overlay network that would employ peer-to-peer caching to accelerate content distribution and peer-to-peer routing to make the effective bandwidth to target sites much faster. This would make the Internet faster for users and cheaper to operate for content distributors. They started up Hola with $18 million from investors such as DFJ (Skype, Hotmail), Horizons Ventures (Mr. Li Ka-Shing's fund), Magma Venture Partners (Waze), Israel's Chief Scientist Fund, and others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=819167&privcapId=46615242&previousCapId=122879&previousTitle=Giza%20Venture%20Capital )〕 Hola Networks Limited launched their network in late 2012,〔 and it became viral in January 2013 when consumers started using Hola for Internet privacy and anonymity by utilizing the P2P routing for IP masking."After being around for two months with 80 downloads a day, on January 23rd 2013, at 5PM Israel time, the product was good enough.
