The article mentions skipping around the Great Firewall, or accessing services only available in certain countries. To me the benefit would be that the phone company or whatever local wifi I am using couldn't log my traffic. You may lose out on some services using geoip for your location, but the tradeoff is acceptable to me.

Doesn't this presume that the app vendor can be trusted not to be intercepting your traffic?

You could build it yourself from the source? http://code.google.com/p/sshtunnel/

At some point you gotta trust someone though.

Well, if you can't trust Ken Thompson, who can you trust?
