You have to determine whether it is privacy you want, or anomymity. And what 
you seem to be seeking is anonymity. Only you can answer: anonymity from whom? 
That will ultimately determine your choice.

Tor might certainly fit the bill. It will achieve exactly what you need. And 
it's free.

Personally, technically sound as they are, I would not touch SwissVPN. Read 
their privacy policy. AFAIK, they will log your traffic. Your IP, indeed will 
be masked from your destination. But SwissVPN will probably know who you are 
and where you're connecting from. And that means your anonymity is hosed.  
Switzerland may also be a data retention country, but I'm not certain. Also 
SwissVPN is a single-hop proxy.

Now if these aren't major concerns then go with them.

As far as I'm concerned, the cream of the crop these days is Xerobank. 
http://www. xerobank.com. They are pricey but offer close to the ultimate in 
anonymous communications.

Another option is to use a service like Swiss VPN.  They give you a VPN
tunnel from your PC to their network.  Then they swap your IP for one of
theirs and that is the IP that is out connecting to other machines and
websites.  As far as anyone can tell, you're coming from Switzerland.  I
think you get a different IP each time you connect/disconnect the service
but they are probably all coming from the same pool.  There is a monthly fee
but it's not too bad and well worth it if this is something important to
you:

I use them whenever I am traveling or working from open WiFI hotpots.
