    Thank you all for the support regarding the recent incident with TorGuard. After nearly 10 years of promoting and respecting this company, the sudden and unexplained termination of our partnership has been quite frustrating. If you're considering switching VPNs following this situation, please check out some of my other top-rated VPNs or other peripheral products. My top VPN now is NordVPN, and Surfshark. Both of these VPNs have come a long way in our community with lots of improvements and feedback from me, and without their help, I would not be able to keep this channel going now. nordvpn.tomspark.tech/ and surfshark.tomspark.tech/

    I'm sorry to hear that Tom. I've been watching your reviews for the last couple of years so I can keep on a market and I can say you've been nothing but a fair supportive of Torguard's products & services. Quite sad they'd disrespect you without context, you deserve better than this. Thank you for your all your contributions and pls don't get discouraged!

    It is actually disappointing. I started knowing Torguard from your channel and using Torguard since ISPs in my country started using DPI. Their anonymous proxy services and VPN are working mostly as intended among other popular VPNs, but not in iOS platform. I hope they would reconsider their action to you and have to talk openly what were the penalties or reasons. It feels like kicking back you and our shoulders. Their VPN services are really good that I cannot have to let it go so far.

    I would add a system to be able to disregard some of the criteria in the tierlist, e.g. If I dont care about the community, proton would be Nr 1. So I can tailor it to what its important to me. :)

      Sure, but there were 5-10 other ways they could improve their product and be ranked #1... No need to be salty or take away the affiliate program (if this was the case, i am not sure, since I was not told why they deleted my affiliate status and blocked me).
