TorGuard review

Supported Devices

Whether you’re using a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer, you’ll find TorGuard clients ready to protect your connection.

If you’re looking to protect your mobile device, router, game console, or streaming media box, TorGuard offers in-depth guides on their site to help you configure things for optimal performance.

They’re also one of the few providers to sell pre-configured routers you can connect and protect your entire network without worrying about the hassle of setting things up yourself.

Ease of Use

TorGuard offers two separate clients.

• The Lite version keeps things super simple putting the bulk of the service’s features within a few clicks using simple presets.
• The Viscosity version allows you to customize everything to your liking and dig into all the settings.

This approach makes it easy to tailor the service to your needs based both on how you use your VPN and how comfortable you are with technology.

The VPN Lab sums things up well, saying, “Both clients are easy to use and provide a user-friendly experience. Still, if you are not familiar with the way VPNs work, you should probably stick to the Lite version.”

Simultaneous Connections

Every account includes up to 5 simultaneous connections. If you want to add more devices to your account, you can configure your router to use TorGuard or pay a small fee for each additional device.

Included Features

TorGuard includes a range of standard features with every account to keep you secure as you use the Internet. They also offer a range of premium add-ons. However, even the base feature set is one of the most comprehensive on the market.

Popular features include:

• Dedicated IP address add-ons
• Regional video unlocking
• Torrenting support
• Stealth servers
• No logging

The service supports the OpenVPN, SSTP, L2TP/IPsec, and IKEv2 protocols. You can also encrypt using either 256-bit AES or 128-bit Blowfish encryption for added flexibility.

Privacy and Logging

TorGuard claims they keep no logs. We could not find any contradictory information online claiming otherwise.

However, they’re based in the United States. So if you’re worried about 14 Eyes surveillance, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

Performance

TorGuard offers more than 3,000 servers across 55 countries. The optimized their network for peer-to-peer filesharing and bypassing regional restrictions on video services such as Netflix or BBC iPlayer.

The VPN Lab says, “Speed is one of the areas where TorGuard prevails. When tested, the speeds proved to be very fast, ranging from good to excellent, very stable and reliable.”

For even faster speeds, you can upgrade to their “Premium” 10Gbit network.

Support

With both live chat and an email support system, you’ll always find help just a message away. There’s also a load of information available on the site -- including a knowledge base, FAQ, tutorials, and an active forum.

If you’re in the US, there’s even a toll-free support number -- a rarity among VPN providers.
