Very interesting Millard. I look into it. Right now I've been playing with tor2web proxy. On Google apps. Nice little feature.

More info on the business side of Zenmate from Techcrunch:

The Berlin-based company has closed a $3.2 million Series A round led by Holtzbrinck Ventures, with participation from existing investor Project A Ventures, and new investors Shortcut Ventures and T-Venture. The latter two venture funds are noteworthy as they potentially provide further inroads into the mobile space via being connected to German telcos E-Plus and Deutsche Telekom, respectively. Prior to today’s funding, the company had raised $1.3 million in October 2013.

Available for desktop browsers Chrome, Opera and (as of today) Firefox, in addition to mobile apps for iOS and Android, ZenMate’s privacy and security suite provides a VPN-style service, including encrypting your web browsing and routing its through its own network of servers in order to hide your personal IP address. The advantage is potentially greater privacy and security, as well as being able to visit sites and services that may be blocked in the country you reside in.

...

The startup is not without competitors, either. Companies like Privax (Hide My Ass), AnchorFree (Hotspot Shield), TunnelBear, and CyberGhost offer a similar proposition for consumers.
