Service: BTGuard comes in two flavors (and prices):-
As a Bittorrent Proxy – BTGuard is a paid proxy service through which you pass your download traffic. This hides the IP-addresses of its users from the public and any tracking will see the BTGuard IP address rather than your own and therefore your identity effectively stays hidden from view.
BTGuard works with all clients that support ‘Socks V5′ proxies including uTorrent and Vuze and it’s a breeze to set-up.
Everything is routed through their Canadian servers and downloads are fast, reliable and secure.
As a VPN Service – BTGuard operates much like any other securing your internet connection and rendering your web browsing and other net services anonymous. However, their server network is limited to only Canada and Germany.
Privacy: BTGuard does not log customer IP addresses or customer usage. See their Policy/Terms/FAQ
Review: If you need to disguise your torrent use then the simple Bittorrent Proxy service works very well and couldn’t be simpler to set up and get started. It’s fast and reliable and gets the job done with the minimum of fuss.
The fully fledged VPN service (at $9.95/Month) is pretty decent. However you may find the limited server network restricting (no good for US or UK online TV networks if that’s your thang).

BTGuard Review,
So, it’s occasionally unreliable and download speeds can be slow at times. So what! Get with the plan people. BTGuard lets you download stuff anonymously, that’s what it does thats what you pay for and for that its frikin awesomnal!
PTPP is unreliable
VPN Connection drops sometimes
Speed is TERRIBLE – my ping is 500ms and speedtest results are 0.75mb/s down, 1mb/s up. My connection without the VPN is 28mb/s down, 10mb/s up.
Support never responds to emails
Price is competitive.
I regret spending the $10 for a month but there was no trial (should have been a red flag).
Great value, decent speeds most of the time and hides my IP address. Interface is slick and easy to use so what more could you want except for a few more server locations. That said it meets my needs.
Decided to go for the full VPN package and am more than happy. Slows down a bit at night but thats to be expected. I always download during the day anyway and speeds are close to normal ISP. Very easy to use and set-up.
Good enough service from my end. Speeds tend to drop at peak times and you need look for torrents with the most seeds. Pretty much what you’d expect for chump change every month.
I have been using btguard in Australia for about a year. Service is awesome and it’s good quality for the price.

This is a Great Service. Easy and quick to set up et also very reliable. I am using it every day… And I am fully happy with it.
Merci BT Guard.
So far so good.
Only tried it with uTorrent though. I used to like Vuze but it’s a memory hog and grinds my shitty laptop to a halt.
This is a great service for only $6.95 a month. Set up was pretty smooth except for a small issue on my end with network settings and I’ve not had a problem yet with downtimes or speed issues.
Gday from Aussie land. Tried this a couple of months back and although the speed was ok i had a couple of dropped connections mid download which hacked me off big time. Support weren’t much help either. Canned it gonna try a full vpn next month
