I always was a little sketched out by Torguard... much like how Wikileaks piggybacked on Wikipedia, the fact they put "Tor" in their name despite not being affiliated with Tor squicked me out a bit.

https://torguard.net/faq.php

Is TorGuard related in any way to the “tor” project?

Answer: 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.

Burying an entry in a FAQ does not change the fact people may not read said FAQ. Tor predates Torguard. It's perfectly possible people may be misled, especially since both are "privacy tools"

Note that Wikileaks was originally a wiki, though the name may have also intentionally echoed Wikimedia projects.
