[liberationtech] Comments, suggestions ...?

[Charles Ess]

Hi all,
A student has recommended the Hola Unblocker, "a free, configurable VPN
service" that, for my student, has the chief advantage of allowing one to
access material otherwise blocked to those outside a given country (as in:
wanting to access the U.S. Netflix services from outside the U.S.)
Not entirely sure this has much to do with the primary interests of this
list, so apologies in advance - but would very much be interested in
comments from this community, especially as my first touch of the "download
hola" button triggered a warning in Firefox, "To protect this machine,
Firefox is preventing this website from installing programs" (approximate
translation from my machine's primary working language).

Many thanks in advance,
- charles
