TOR is probably overkill if all you want to do is hide your traffic from Phorm/VM.

You can use a service like anonymizer.com to hide your traffic. It doesn't have quite the same level of security as TOR. For example, a government could demand that Anonymizer.com turn over logs to identify you, whereas TOR would protect against that.

But for stopping VM from tracking your website usage, it would be sufficient.

Of course, we shouldn't have to pay to hide our surfing from our own ISP.
