What is ZenMate VPN for Firefox

Zenmate for Firefox is a proxy switcher add-on that automates the process of switching.

Even if you don't know a thing about proxy switching, you're going to be able to take advantage of Zenmate for Firefox. It automates the entire process and helps you determine the right setting through its intuitive interface. Your traffic will be encrypted and routed by proxy (international). What does this accomplish? It means you have more privacy and anonymity online, something that many folks are unwilling to give up simply because they are in a very shady online environment. There are ways to protect yourself. Zenmate is one such way.

If you've been using the Firefox browser, this is a perfect security companion. Another handy feature is that even if you are in a country that restricts certain content, you can bypass that with their geographical features. You can also open up parts of the web that may have formerly been closed to you. This makes for a richer browsing experience.

Privacy is just the beginning of the fun. This is a proxy add-on that makes sure the speed doesn't get left in the dust either. You will continue to enjoy great Internet speeds, even with the added encryption and security. Unfortunately, things aren't all sunshine. There are far too many countries that aren't supported by ZenMate. Over time, there may be more added, but for now there simply needs to be more for it to be as useful as possible.

Pros

  • Setup is a snap, very easy
  • Proxies are easy to switch between
  • Blocked site viewing is a delight and a relief for those in some countries

Cons

  • Far too many countries aren't supported by this software
  • In order to private browse, you need to provide an email address. For some folks, this may be too intrusive for a program designed to enhance security and privacy
