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.

Yeah, 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-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.

?

Yeah, 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...

FACT: Tom Spark is a TorGuard shill. Affiliate #4374.

Speed - 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).

A 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.

Good job neglecting everything else I mentioned. TorGuard is still 30$ a year which is vastly cheaper than PIA which doesnt offer discount codes. And no I'm referencing the current 2019 speeds comparing both reviews.

If you pay bi-yearly, PIA is ~$40. A bit more, but it's still faster and has better apps.

False. $268.65 3 months free3 + $83.87 per two years.

PIA is $84 for two years.

Is there some legitimate reason that you don't understand, and can't communicate, PIA's pricing structure? I'm a customer of theirs, and you seem to have a huge axe to grind.

That video raised quite a few red flags with me and don't think that was a good coverage of this controversy.

For one thing, I don't think nordvpn would care about the 5k bug bounty.

From reading https://restoreprivacy.com/torguard-nordvpn-lawsuit-blackmai... it seems like there are quite a few serious allegations that are so absolutely ridiculous that it has to be nonsense or so ridiculous they're likely to be true.

Also, suing the wrong company is a big oversight. That's really sloppy work and doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

They confused two companies in Toronto that are both caused C7. It's an easy mistake to make, and one that was corrected in just a few days.

You just posted a link to a blog that rates NordVPN as it's #2 rated VPN, and hasn't even reviewed TorGuard yet, so that source is not credible at all.

> hasn't even reviewed TorGuard yet, so that source is not credible at all

We're not comparing service quality so I don't understand what them not having reviewed TorGuard has to do with anything.

FWIW, I think the link posted was clearer and fairly objective.

I 'll also add that the other video you made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwHssMNEWMg is more useful because it addresses some questions I had like why NordVPN would think to remove your video through TorGuard and if they had reached out to you directly.

All in all, very strange situation and I am interested to see how this pans out.

It's relevant because RestorePrivacy has a clear bias against TorGuard since it's based within the US. Sven Taylor hasn't reviewed TG yet on purpose, and the fact he mentions 4 year old "VPN.AC" stuff agaisnt TorGuard in the article, just goes to show the article isn't just a news piece but it's obvious he's taking sides. He fails to mention several important bits of information on Nord's response I covered in my video..

News has to be objective. He doesn't mention how A) NordVPN was given a file instead of the file being given to TorGuard first which is extremely weird, B) NordVPN does not mention showing up to TG's house C) Why would NordVPN help TG fix a bug when the two companies have been butting heads for years now? D) NordVPN admits in the blog post that they started the conversation in hope TG would stop "defaming them" which is basically an insinuation of blackmail. E) NordVPN has not denied any actual relationship to Collective Seven yet. I could continue down the alphabet, but you get the picture (watch my video on it).

Oh look it's Tom Spark - TorGuard Affiliate Number: #4374

You're not biased at all are you Mr. TorGuard Affiliate?

Mr. TorGuard Affiliate that lists only one VPN (TorGuard) on his website as "God Tier", what a joke.

Here, watch this you troll: https://youtu.be/ppbZ3tFQ1ts

Troll? Nah, I'm stating a fact. You're a TorGuard affiliate, your affiliate ID is #4374 and you try to hide the fact by using bit.ly links to mask your affiliate number.
