Investigation Brief
holavpn.net is the official landing page for Hola VPN, a browser extension and VPN service that offers free downloads and routes traffic through a peer-to-peer network. The site displays a physical address, phone number, and links to billing support on support.hola.org. Two independent warnings flag past data-handling practices and a single-engine suspicious rating, while the browser threat feed and most antivirus engines report no active threat.
Privacy and security signals
Security researchers documented that the Hola VPN extension captures Chrome-internal identity headers from Google requests and transmits them to its servers every ten minutes.
Gridinsoft labels the site suspicious with a trust score of 35/100, and one antivirus engine on the multi-engine malware scan marks the URL suspicious while the remaining 92 engines do not.
Operator transparency and domain history
The registrable domain is 4131 days old and the site lists a verifiable Israeli phone number and postal address, indicating a long-operating service rather than a newly created storefront.
The page header notes a class-action settlement in California, and the site links to billing and payments support on support.hola.org, showing an established cross-domain commercial path for payments and account management.
Why the score is 62
1 antivirus result marked the URL as suspicious. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
