• Uninstall and reinstall your web browser.


• Reboot your router: unplug the router > wait at least 30 seconds > plug in the router back in.

Oops! Seems like something might be blocking Hola.

After each step, check if the issue still remains.

• Restart your device (sometimes restarting your device will do the trick).


• Disable other VPS (Virtual Private Server), proxy software, or other software that might conflict with Hola.


• Temporarily disable any applications that may interfere. Your connection might be blocked by a firewall, antivirus, or anti-spyware program. (remember to turn it back on again after testing).

Here are a few tips to improve your Hola speed:

• Always use the latest version of Hola. We are constantly making improvements, some of which can improve your speed.


• If you don't need a specific country, select the country nearest to your location.


• Connect with an Ethernet cable instead of the Wi-Fi. Connecting your computer directly to your internet router increases the speed.


• Reboot your device to clear networking settings that might be cached.


• Temporarily disable your computer's antivirus/firewall (remember to turn it back on again after testing).

You might be asked to send speed test information as part of the troubleshooting process with our support team.

Here is how to do it :

1. Start Hola and connect to any server (whatever country you need most)


2. Open speed test
   
   The speed test should be performed in the same location you're connected to. Click “Change Server” and set the country to the same country that you selected, or the closest possible location to your selected location.


3. Wait for the test to finish and take a screenshot of the results


4. Turn Hola off


5. Open speed test again. Test your speed using the same country you selected in the beginning and take a screenshot of the results.
