ZenMate for Windows

If you are truly concerned about your privacy and want to be sure of your online security, then signing up for a VPN service is usually one of the best solutions you have at your disposal.

ZenMate is a lightweight application that enables you to conceal your identity when browsing the web by re-routing the traffic through one of the many international servers available.

Considering that the app is essentially a VPN client, the functionality is as simple as it gets, meaning that you can open the app, select the desired server and you can browse the web safely. You should know that you can change the servers anytime and that  it takes just  few seconds for the client to connect and secure your network.

Settings-wise, the utility enables you to specify if it should start automatically when you log in and whether you prefer to have the EverSecure feature on or off. The app allows you to modify your account information, namely change your password and your subscription plan.

It is necessary to mention that you can browse the Internet using various international servers. Then again, to ensure a smooth connection, it is recommended that you select a location as close to your area as possible. You should keep in mind that the utility displays very little information about the servers. More exactly, it exhibits the delay and number of users, a feature that can help you know what to expect from the speed of your connection,

The highlight of the application stems from the fact that the utility can bypass regional restriction and it uses an AED-128 encryption protocol to safeguard the data packets while connected. Since these packets are undecipherable, it means that nobody can keep track of your activities and this includes your ISP, hackers and specialized governmental agencies.

As a side note, the application also features browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome. While they provide a similar level of protection, but unlike the app itself, the extensions integrate into the browser's interfaces.

In the eventuality that you want to switch to anonymous browsing, yet you dread the idea of doing sophisticated configurations, then perhaps ZenMate is the tool to help you out.
