Hola.Unblocker

Description

This indicates an attempt to access Hola Unblocker.
Hola Unblocker is a proxy application based on a community powered (Peer-to-Peer) VPN network, where users help each other to make the web more accessible by sharing their idle resources. 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.
