Another internet bandwidth sink

Rachael was complaining that her internet usage was sky high and yet she was on holiday.

I had a déjà vu  moment and thought that I've fixed this before with Judy. See Judy's problem in my Blog May 2015 "Irate ADSL customer wanting WEB access.

Judy's issue was dropped packets and a noisy link. After some investigation I had to discount this as a cause.

launch4j - Program packaging tool for Java applications

The audience for this blog

As with all my blogs the audience is  myself, a computer programmer not too bright who wants to know how to launch a Java App as a one-click executable

So the aim of this blog is to show how to create an executable program from a Java jar.file.

Margaret wants to boot her Windows 8.1 machine and without logging on go straight to her desktop.

Margaret wants to boot her Windows 8.1 machine and without logging on, go straight to her desktop.

She didn't want to go through the process at boot time prompting her for her password, interrupting and slowing down the procedure.

She explained that she only reads news or uses her computer's word processor to write "snail" mail, all her financial transaction do not occur in cyber space which greatly relieved me.

Irate ADSL customer wanting WEB access

Judy rang to tells me, "I can't stand it anymore, it takes minutes to get a WEB page up can you do something about it".

She was experiencing extremely slow internet speed and to exacerbate matters the  telecommunication carrier was shaping her download link speed because some mystery process was consuming all the bandwidth.

Hola is a free VPN but with a big catch.




I've already told you the benefits of a VPN in a previous blog.
Why use Hola? 

If you install the hola plugin on your browser your leveraging the power of your resources for the benefit of  all the users who want a VPN in your location.

Hola is sort of a bit-torrent but instead of sharing files your sharing your internet bandwidth.

So by sharing other peoples bandwidth your making your bandwidth sharable by others. 

Effectively a peer to peer sharing application.

As with any VPN, hola include features like data compression, hiding your IP address and encrypting all of your traffic.

Who registered Hola?
