[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1110904, member: 39702"] No, they can't. The worst Hola! VPN can do is use you as a node for their service. Meaning, giving your IP to a stranger and allowing him to surf the web pretending to be you (extremely bad idea). User doesn't and can't get anywhere near your home network. IP addresses are reusable. You don't own your IP address and they are actually rotated between users. If you see your IP address on some blocklist, it means someone spread spam from that address before, or was scamming people. Nothing to worry about. You'll might get asked to solve captcha more often and that's it. If you have dynamic IP address (most likely), just restart the router and you'll get another IP address which, if you're lucky, won't be on a blocklist. [/QUOTE]
