[OPLINTECH] Thoughts on hola.org

[Jessica D. Dooley]

Hola.org, to the best of my knowledge, is a known spreader of malware to
unsophisticated users. However, blocking VPN services in general would be a
major and undeserved problem for some library patrons conducting legitimate
business - not to mention the security-conscious user. Re: CIPA, I've
interpreted libraries' obligation as filtration, but not enforcement. For
both these reasons, I do not block VPN ports on our public wireless - or on
patron computers. Just my thoughts!

Any thoughts about http://hola.org/
And all the others like it.
Might be used as a CIPA bypass

Ignore their use by patrons on their own device  ?
Block them  for everybody?
