I'm not directly accusing you of anything, but you sort of come across as a shill or extreme fanboy of TorGuard. How can you give them 5s across the board?
-Speed: During my testing with PIA and TorGuard, PIA was consistently 50% faster.
-App: The TorGuard app is lacking in features and poorly designed.
-Price: It's substantially more expensive than most providers.
-Reputation: They've had not too great a reputation for a while now
I do not believe that you are an objective party here.
- kristofferR 7y agoYeah, to still give them 5 stars for reputation after this whole lawsuit fiasco, is absurd. The apps are mediocre at best, rated just 3.1/5: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/torguard-anonymous-vpn-service/id988743799 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/torguard-anonymous-vpn-servi..., so if nothing else his app score is clear evidence of him being impartial. According to comments on his review they've also added Google trackers/capchas to their login page, something you wouldn't see on a reputable provider.

- kristofferR 7y agoYeah, everyone who disputes your dubious paid endorsement of TorGuard as perfect/"GOD-tier", despite undisputable evidence to the contrary like having mediocrely rated apps, is obviously shilling for their competitors. Give me a break...

- Tomspark 7y agoSpeed - PIA has always been a fast competitor to TorGuard. However, TG is extremely fast for torrenting, like REALLY fast. Test it yourself, or watch my videos. App - The app's design is fine, a bit old school, but easy to use and updated within the last year. It also has a ton of security features (app + network switch), streaming IP integration, and the list goes on. Price - It's the same price as PIA now, and with my discount code "tomspark" which isn't unique really, since TG has thousands of 50% off codes floating around, its $5 a month compared to $10 a month with PIA... Reputation - TG's reputation has been flawless. They don't make any false claims and are honest about their jurisdiction, as well as a no logs policy.This is why so many VPNs try to buy them out (as claimed in the TG lawsuit document)..The fact they are sueing another VPN for blackmailing them is a good thing IMO. They are showing some balls. The fact so many VPNs are trying to DDOS TorGuard as well, shows they are doing something right. So yes, I am an objective party. I have been reviewing VPNs since 2015, and have re-reviewed more than 20+ VPNs this year alone. Not to mention TorGuard only has an affiliate commission rate of 30% which makes it lower than most any other VPN in the industry (proving that I am not a sellout like other reviewers).
- knd775 7y agoA video of yours that I just watched that attempts to show the "REALLY fast" torrenting speeds shows ubuntu 18.10 downloading at 11.2 MB/s (so ~90 Mb/s) with 2200 seeds (and 98 connected). Is this what I am supposed to be seeing? Is there another video I should watch? I haven't tested with the same file, but I routinely break 150 Mb/s while torrenting through PIA. In regards to price, no one in their right mind should pay for a VPN monthly.
