TorGuardwas a solid, geeky VPN, and I was always happy to recommend it to everyone.
What Can TorGuard Do?
TorGuard is a faintly weird mixture of the simple and complicated.
TorGuard
At first glance, the app is super simple with just a few buttons.
In its current state, its hard to place TorGuard among thebest VPNs.
First, though, I like the app.
Currently, TorGuard is supported onWindows,macOS, andLinux.
Its pretty cool, and I guaranteed TorGuard a spot in my roundup of thebest VPNs for Linux.
It covers all the basics, but theres no support for more exotic operating systems or smart TVs.
There also doesnt seem to be a way toinstall TorGuard on routers.
There also doesnt seem to be any stability issues; the app performs equally well on all systems.
The app itself is very straightforward.
Like all my favorite VPNs (such asExpressVPN), TorGuard is operated with just a few buttons.
A further complication arises when using TorGuard on Linux.
When trying to connect to aVPN serverfor the first time, I was asked to install WireGuard separately.
Im sure it doesnt affect the use of TorGuard, but it feels sloppy somehow.
In day-to-day use, though, I like TorGuard.
The app responds well, and things like the server selection screen are laid out well.
I used TorGuard for a few days, and I never had any issues from day to day.
Few other VPNs let you exercise this much control over your connection, let alone from the configs menu.
TorGuard Performance
TorGuards performance is spotty at best.
When I reviewed it before, I was impressed with how consistent and fast it was during my tests.
However, TorGuard underperformed in every location.
Note that these results came from using the high-performance WireGuard protocol.
TorGuard Pricing
One area where TorGuard has made great improvements is its pricing scheme.
There are also some interesting bundles with TorGuards other services, like secure mail and proxies.
Though I havent tried these out, so Im reserving judgment on them.
That said, Im less enthusiastic about the other two plans.
Still, I should point out that there are cheaper VPNs out there.
Privacy and Security
One of the most important aspects of any VPN is its security and privacy.
Theprivacy policy, for example, while covering all the bases, is rather terse.
Finally, theres also an issue with using the service fortorrenting.
It may be an entirely unfounded fear, but I’d avoid TorGuard for torrenting.
Sadly, this relegates TorGuard to the niche of people who like to tinker with their VPNs.
If youre in that club, its a great choice.
Anybody else may want to look elsewhere.
