Submitter here. I read about this in Haaretz (<a href="http://technation.themarker.com/1.1899600" rel="nofollow">http://technation.themarker.com/1.1899600</a>) in Hebrew. For the non-Hebrew speakers here, I'll try to explain.<p>Basically, the app (Windows and rooted Android only currently) uses your computer/phone when idle to share your internet resources with other users of the app, by sharing your bandwidth and using your computer as cache for content. They say this will make your internet faster and more secure (since they encrypt 100% of communication passed by the software). As a Mac user, I cannot verify it. The concept reminded me a bit of SETI, only for your internet communication.<p>At the same time there is a Firefox/Chrome extension which allows you to circumvent geographical blocking of websites (BBC iPlayer, Hulu, etc.) since they can route the request through an exit node in the country where the service is not blocked. I have tried the plugin to access the BBC iPlayer, which I used to access using a proxy, and it's working great. Definitely faster than using a proxy (free or paid) and definitely cheaper than paid proxy (since it's free). They currently unblock the following websites: Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, BBC iPlayer and ITV Player. You can request more websites using their Facebook page and they say that soon they will allow users to set up unblocking for whichever websites they want.<p>Edit: formatting.
