Im at a loss as to what I or anyone else would actually use this for. But it is slightly creepy. Ill give it that.

It adds some level of privacy without going as far as something like Tor. As a result, it's a lot faster than Tor, but a lot less private.

The "privacy" it adds is that it separates your IP from your request, so no one actor on the way knows "X requested Y". A server knows "X requested something", another one knows "someone requested Y".

Maybe you don't need it, but I don't see how this is slightly creepy.
