These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
su89-cdn.net is registered to Hola VPN Ltd, an Israeli company operating a peer-to-peer proxy service for over 16 years. The domain itself is not a scam, and our antivirus network shows no malicious detections. However, multiple malware sandboxes flag subdomains (zagent*.su89-cdn.net, client-cdn*.su89-cdn.net) with 'Malicious activity' verdicts tied to Hola's browser extension and client processes. Reddit users and security forums report persistent outbound pings to these subdomains that users cannot easily stop or remove. Hola's business model — turning user devices into exit nodes for paying customers — creates legitimate privacy and security concerns. The high sandbox flags and user complaints reflect the service's aggressive P2P behavior rather than traditional fraud, but the difficulty users face in removing the software and the persistent background connections elevate the risk profile.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The landing page presents Hola as a fast, secure VPN and proxy unblocker with 321 million members, 4.9-star Chrome Web Store rating, and 16 years in business. The page loads legitimate marketing copy and links to Hola's support, blog, and app stores. No phishing forms, countdown timers, or credential-harvest patterns detected.

Infrastructure

Domain su89-cdn.net is hosted on IP 107.22.193.119 (AWS) with a valid Sectigo SSL certificate. The IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. The domain is 1,184 days old (registered via GoDaddy), and WHOIS privacy is disabled. External resources load from legitimate CDN and analytics providers (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Bright Data, Facebook Pixel, Clarity).

Domain History

Registered approximately 3.2 years ago by Hola VPN Ltd, an active Israeli company. The domain age and business registration are consistent with a legitimate, established service. No evidence of recent ownership changes, domain hijacking, or reregistration.

Web Reputation

Our antivirus network reports 0/92 engines flagged as malicious and 0 as suspicious. Browser blocklists are clean. However, malware sandboxes flag subdomains (zagent29, client-cdn4) with 'Malicious activity' verdicts. Reddit users report persistent outbound connections to zagent*.su89-cdn.net that Malwarebytes blocks. Independent traffic classifiers recognize the domain as Internet Software owned by Hola. One independent review site rates a proxyjs subdomain as 'very likely not a scam but legit and reliable,' while another rates a zagent subdomain as a scam with a 10/100 trust score.

Risk Factors
7
  • Malware sandboxes flag multiple subdomains (zagent*.su89-cdn.net, client-cdn*.su89-cdn.net) with 'Malicious activity' verdicts linked to Hola client processes.
  • Reddit users and security forums report persistent outbound pings to zagent subdomains that users cannot easily stop or remove.
  • Hola's P2P model turns user devices into exit nodes for paying customers, creating privacy and liability concerns that have drawn criticism since 2015.
  • No email contact on the site's own domain; no phone number or postal address listed — typical of CDN infrastructure pages but limits user recourse.
  • Multiple independent review sites give conflicting ratings: one rates a zagent subdomain as a scam (10/100), another rates a proxyjs subdomain as legitimate.
  • Users report difficulty fully removing Hola software after installation, suggesting aggressive or persistent installation behavior.
  • Hola has faced past botnet-related controversy, raising questions about the trustworthiness of its P2P infrastructure.
Positive Signals
5
  • Domain is 1,184 days old with active business registration in Israel; not a newly-created throwaway domain.
  • Our antivirus network reports zero malicious or suspicious detections across 92 engines.
  • Valid SSL certificate issued by Sectigo; HTTPS connection is secure.
  • Hosting IP (AWS) has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score.
  • Hola VPN is a recognized, long-established service with 321 million users and a 4.9-star Chrome Web Store rating.
AI Recommendation
Do not enter payment details or personal information on this domain — it is a CDN infrastructure page, not a user-facing service. If you have installed Hola VPN and wish to remove it, use your system's standard uninstall process and verify removal in your browser extensions and startup programs. Be aware that Hola's P2P model carries privacy risks; consider a mainstream VPN provider if privacy is

  • Yes. su89-cdn.net presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36, expiring in 131 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
