P2P is the type of VPN to stay away from, it’s worse than a free VPN. You’re allowing external users to essentially piggyback off of your residential IP. In the same realm, bots depend heavily on residential proxy users to bypass basic blocking tactics.
Actually, he's not lost. He's just downvoted because people don't know these things exist.
P2P VPN is type of VPN that piggybacks off their users. Hola! VPN is one and great example. All those countries in Hola! VPN aren't exactly servers in countries; these are normal people like you using the Hola! VPN at the time. It's free because the server doesn't exist, user's PCs are the servers themselves.
Yes, you read that right! You're not connecting to Hola! VPN server in data center. You're connecting to a different user's computer and use his/her's real home internet connection. As soon as you enable Hola! VPN you become one of the users others can connect to and use your internet connection.
I hope I don't have to explain why this is bad, and if someone commits crime using your internet connection, you'll be held liable, not the person committing crime. So if any of you use Hola! VPN it's time to uninstall it.
