TorGuard to block torrent traffic
Where is now that torguard shill from youtube?
So I know no one here recommended torguard in the first place but now why would you want a paid vpn without torrent traffic? I mean there is perfectly legal torrents they will be blocking .
Time to go back to AirVPN
TorGuard will “use commercially reasonable efforts to block BitTorrent traffic on its servers in the United States using firewall technology,”
Comments are total bullshit.
- They are blaming Quadranet for not looking at Socks5 traffic, claiming they can easily do this as Socks5 is indeed unencrypted.
- A lot of VPN Providers block Trackers in the US. Just use a Server overseas, no need to hassle the VPN Provider with DMCA. I could also see Mullvad being pressured into this. As they also use Quadranet in the US.
- u/daiqo „Null Routing subscribers“ refers to Torguard as the subscriber not you as the subscriber of Torguard. This does not proof Torguard is logging. Eventhough it also does not proof Torguard is not logging. This is a neutral statement.
Overall this article is more clickbait than actual facts.
so is torguard socks5 considered a u.s. server
A little bird told me that torrents are still working on socks5 proxy, but come to think of it, this makes sense why months ago the USA socks5 ips we’re all taken down. Good on torguard protecting the little birds…
Yet more evidence why you don’t go with multi-year subscriptions.
“If QuadraNet had null routed one of the IP addresses assigned to TorGuard where plaintiffs sent notices or at least forwarded the notices to TorGuard’s DMCA agent, TorGuard would have taken immediate steps to stop further piracy such as suspending users and adopting a firewall to filter out BitTorrent traffic as it has now begun to do,” explains the VPN provider.
So they can link specific users to torrent activity? Cool.
“Because traffic on TorGuard’s SOCKS5 proxy servers is not encrypted,… QuadraNet could have used conventional network monitoring tools to capture data packets of the piracy and confirm the piracy in the notices plaintiffs sent to QuadraNet,” argue the plaintiffs’ lawyers.
They like it to force others to do their own work.
Saw this Hostee guy in techlore’s discord trying to convince people not to get TorGuard and that Tom Spark is the CEO.
Why is he so obessed with TorGuard?
Probly works for a competing company.
Wouldn’t trust this article posted here either, as it looks to be super biased.
The article is pure clickbait.
What’s the best vpn and just use another torrent instead of bitTorrent 
Hey i just want to confirm with yall, this is strictly just going to be on US based servers right. Been with em for a few years and going to be rather peeved if it turns out to be blanket ban.
Still working for me.
Made a video about the extra mile Torguard took to Protect it’s Customers from US Court.
Tom Spark already addressed this in his youtube video.
I guess at the very least, they didn’t give up their customers and stuck to the no logs policy.
Kinda funny considering the ‘Tor’ part in their name comes from torrent but that kind of block is also nothing new w/ US servers.
For me it showed torguard as even more trustworthy now, since they’ve gotten 100.000s of letters, but none got out to the customers. I won’t switch from mullvad tho
