Ah, apparently just the browser plug-in isn't peer to
peer. From the article: "Using the browser plug-in to
geododge doesn't seem to involve sharing content with
other users, so many people might not see the need to 
install the full desktop application. Often, you only
need to enable geo-dodging to start a video streaming,
once it's playing you've already passed the geo-check
so it will happily keep playing."

So, I for one aren't exactly sure how it works, other
than myriad Hola servers i suppose, and, the legality 
of that seems difficult to fathom. One thing for sure,
local free-to-air network tv will be sure to complain.

Cheers, Jan :)
