In 2006, NDS (Cisco) acquired Jungo for $107 million. With the profits from the company, they started Jungo in 2000 to develop an operating system for home gateways. If you have tipping point they have a filter for the plugin (#19877) or you could set an alert for the user agent and have your users uninstall the plugin as it triggers.In 1998, Ofer Vilenski and Derry Shribman founded KRFTech, a software development tools company. So blocking the hola site will protect against users getting to the site but it wont help if users already have the plugin installed. The user agent it uses is called "hola_get" and looks like it constantly checks for connectivity. I found that the browser plugin makes constant request to google subnets 216/58/216/0/24 and 74.125.196.0/24. Is anyone familiar with the Hola VPN architecture and/or gateway IPs that we can look for in our logs? Perhaps there are others that experienced this recently? Our Proxy has blocked, but now I'm curious as to how Google identified these connections if they were in fact blocked. There have been several reports over the last few months about Hola VPN and related security issues: We were able to identify two users on our network with the Hola VPN Chrome extension installed (interestingly enough it's still available in the Chrome web store). The best thing to do is to uninstall the Hola VPN from your computer or network." "If the blocking started within the past few weeks, it is likely to be related to the use of the "Hola VPN" browser plugin, or a program for Mac/Win/Android/iOS. If you share your network connection, ask your administrator for help - a different computer using the same IP address may be responsible."įollowing the "Learn More" link provides an interesting bit of information:

In the meantime, solving the above CAPTCHA will let you continue to use our services. The block will expire shortly after those requests stop.
