☆ Rating: ★★★★★✓ Pros: I've used pia and ipvanish in the past, but what sold me on torguard is the customer service. They are always helpful and take the time to explain things to an old man like me. I had trouble with my ddwrt router and them even fixed it through remote support. I wish comcast was this nice to me.✗ Cons: It would be nice to see them add more servers for us Australians. I use the Australia, New Zealand and Romania servers but the others can be a little slow from AU. ☁ Comments:Easy to use, fast VPN with excellent customer service.

☆ Rating: ★★★★★✓ Pros: Setting up the service to using the service, company statements regarding user privacy, pricing, all of these and others make this my VP provider of choice.✗ Cons: The latency but that is more nit picking than anything else. It's understood that with a VPN service there will inherently be latency so I can't claim to not know about it.☁ Comments: The overall experience.

    I have been with them for almost 2 years.
    I cant recommend TorGuard highly enough.
    Good speeds, lots of servers, NO LOGS, as thats the most important part!
    I feel my 30$ are well spent

    They usually run a promotion at least once a year for discount on year subscription for $30.

    I use tor guard as well. Excellent speeds and lots of server options. I was able to get 6 months for $15.

    The best part is 5 devices is plenty. I can even run the service on my tomato router, meaning anything on my network falls under that one device.

    Torguard. Big on privacy, no logs and good speeds. I recently left PrivateInternetAcces (PIA) due to slow connection and disconnections while torrenting leaving my real IP in illegal torrent swarms. I'm now 5 weeks into Torguard and only good things to say.
    Also if you use voucher code "TGLIFETIME50" you get 50% off. Subscription is less than $30/year, $10 cheaper than PIA, and in my personal option Torguard. runs consistently and fast.
