Tor == "The Onion Router".
TorGuard == something completely unrelated to Tor. Per the TorGuard website (https://torguard.net/faq.php https://torguard.net/faq.php):
"Is TorGuard related in any way to the “tor” project? No, The reference to "tor" in TorGuard relates to "torrents" and guarding one’s privacy when using bitorrent. We are not related in any way to the “tor” project however the company does support through donations."
Orbot, OTOH, is part of the Tor Project (https://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html.en https://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html.en) and Globus (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.globus.vpn&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.globus.vpn...) claims to support Tor.
- nl 10y agoWell that's.. stupid. Ok, I entirely agree they (and I) are wrong. But obviously I'm going to take the position that it isn't unreasonable to think something called "TorGuard" has something to do with Tor.
- homulilly 10y agoIf you're just doing a google search then yeah it's reasonable. It's less so when you're a professional who's supposed to be an expert on these things. If you can't spend more than 5 seconds double checking the accuracy of your research why should I trust it?
