There are several VPN (virtual private network) services available for encrypting and anonymizing your internet connection, here I am talking about a free VPN service called proXPN (a high speed pro version has also there). It is a very easy to use VPN service (US) which secures your existing internet connection by encrypting all user traffic tunneled via a secure gateway. Installation and configuration of this program is quite simple. Just register a free account, then, after the installation of proXPN, enter your login details to connect the VPN service. Its performance is not bad at my end. proXPN is free from viruses (check this Virus Total link. However check it with your own antivirus software before using) and can be download at source (More details).
