Tor Browser

The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software.

ZenMate

ZenMate is an easy to use Browser plugin that provides a VPN solution - encrypting all your browser traffic and routing it through our ZenMate cloud to provide a secure and private browsing experience. Forget internet restrictions! We provide geo-switching options that will allow you to access blocked content wherever you are. What we provide: ZenMate is the number one browser Extension for Security and Privacy on the internet.

• It's a browser plugin vs. NordVPN is an all-protecting executable that you install into your registry. ZenMate gives you the impression of being secure on the internet whilst you are not. There's no reason for ZenMate to be an alternative to NordVPN from a technical / security standpoint. This is just misleading for people who are new to VPN solutions.
