    Doing a bit of research on this and a few worrying things have come up.

    1. They don’t have not have had any independent audits to verify their privacy policy
    2. They are based in Florida and are a member country of the Five Eyes data-sharing alliance. This means that user data may be subject to intelligence collection within these countries.
    3. Their CEO was accused of some fraudulent transactions using people’s data.

    So it's a NO from me.

      1. Our no-log policy has been proven in court multiple times.

      2. The USA does not have mandatory logging policies, and with our strict no-log policy, there is no data to share. The jurisdiction of your VPN has minimal impact on three-letter agencies, as they can access netflow data regardless.

      3. TorGuard's CEO was held liable by a Greek court for attempted fraudulent transactions conducted by an anonymous user of the service but has since been fully acquitted.

    This is less popular than other VPNs. Even PureVPN can give 130% cashback regularly like every month. If this VPN can offer at least 100% cashback through Topcashback or Cashrewards, I'll buy it ;-)

    Op, try to collaborate with Topcashback and Cashrewards to give 100% cashback if possible :)

    • With VPNs, being less popular can actually work in your favor—less IP blocking, better network reliability, and faster customer support. While we’re not familiar with Cashrewards, keep in mind that if a VPN is free or paying you to use it, there's a good chance you're the product. Prioritize privacy and security over flashy deals! :)

  • Torguard was my first VPN, many years ago, probably just after TorGuard was founded (2012?). I used their service for several years, including the normal service and a dedicated IP address. My experience was very good overall. I guess there has been a lot of competition since, with a wave of VPN providers offering better technologies, user-friendly apps, additional protocols, etc.

    I have to say that they generally inspire more trust than a lot of other VPN providers that are very popular here.
    Moreover, technical support was always extremely knowledgeable and helpful; they were very quick to identify and address technical issues. For example, when my provider was using traffic shaping to limit my connection, they were able to trace route that and offered a different server for me to mitigate my provider's behaviour. That solved the problem.

    The CEO being charged for attempted fraudulent transactions was a ridiculous court decision, probably to make a point and have a scape goat. I don't work in the legal field, but I would honestly completely dismiss those accusations.

    Having said that, the conflict with NordVPN and Cloudfitters are a bit more concerning. Maybe they are just accusations in the context of business rivalry, but those events do suggest that there is something wrong with TorGuard's management. Those might reflect one person's (questionable) decisions, but who knows? Those decisions not necessarily reflect on user's experience, and the way how they manage privacy. A lot of things happen in the background and we have no idea…

    In the VPN field, I guess we have to deal with a lot of guessing, without knowing exactly if our data is safe or not.
    In this context, I praise services that opt to fight legal battles to protect consumers. We see that very often… ProtonVPN, NordVPN, TorGuard… There are always controversies and someone being sued for not providing information, or being on the news because "information was leaked".

    Torguard post is quite good and clarifies some aspects of privacy and VPN. In summary, if your VPN IP address is used to access your GMAIL and to download torrents, it's possible that these two events can be linked and you might still be tracked. Even if the VPN doesn't release any information (because they don't have the information, or because they don't want to comply with any court order), if the FBI (just to name a random organisation) believes that IP AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD is being used for any kind of crime, they can ask Google if they have any access from that same IP address and then compare the data. They can follow trackers and cookies to identify other services used by the same IP, and screen for identifiable data. It is not difficult to cross data even if you are sharing the IP with a bunch of other users. That's what happened with PureVPN too.

    Obviously, having an audit would be reassuring some way, although I'm honestly a bit sceptical of any "accreditation" and audit processes. In many fields, I see that audits are often manipulated so that the audits are successful. I see that in my field (health): when we are informed that accreditation will happen, we prepare for that and change the way how we usually do things to make sure that we pass the accreditation. I won't expect that to be any different in the VPN field.

    Finally, there are data breaches (just a few after quick Google):
    NordVPN and TorGuard
    ExpressVPN

    Again, I feel that it's very difficult to know what are the services that can be trusted. Torrent Freak has a list of providers that have replied to specific questions.

      Thank you for the detailed comment.

      As we’ve mentioned previously, the lawsuit with NordVPN was settled years ago.

      It’s interesting that you linked to a Cloudfitters blog post. They’re a relatively small and obscure hosting provider that works with many of the VPNs you mentioned. (They have since rebranded to CloudAndMetal.) We briefly tested their hosting services last year, but after they went offline and disappeared for months, we were forced to issue a chargeback. This led to a dispute with the owner, who appears to be a bit unhinged and went so far as to threaten our staff: https://imgur.com/a/ZjlkgkT

      TL;DR: There are many shady actors in the VPN space that consumers might not realize.

      TorGuard is not one of them.

      • I still find the lawsuit with NordVPN weird, and I obviously don't know exactly what happened. I'm sure that affects TG reputation. VPN has become a bit of a toxic community, often based on referrals and reviews, so that doesn't help much.

        Regardless, I'd still trust TG and use the service based on my previous good experience.
