Yes I can confirm VPNPRO is most likely owned by NordVPN. The site itself wrote a hit piece trying to defame me (falsely claiming I work for one of there competitors). Ironically, lots of Nord shills also think I am the CEO of PIA or something. This article lines up perfectly with Nord's "MO" of casting blame around at other companies to deflect themselves from the bad PR.
Now NordVPN is trying to remove my reviews on my Youtube: https://youtu.be/gZdQx9iv_1U, and they've been caught blackmailing another VPN provider.
The site always rushes to NordVPN's defense when any bad news is going on, and there are several shills on Reddit trying to spread this article around.
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).
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.
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.
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).
Hey guys, Tom Spark here. I'm the video content creator that caused this whole thing. NordVPN hates my channel since I critique and criticize them a lot. They want to censor my channel to remove the bad reviews and so forth (ironic from a VPN company that is suppose to prevent censorship no?). To date, NordVPN is one of the lowest rated VPNs on my VPN tier list at http://vpntierlist.com/.
They are also in the news a lot for various things and I make sure to cover it whereas other VPN affiliates don't (most VPN affiliates are aligned with 100% based comission VPNs like Nord).
I summarized the entire story with 3 videos if anyone wants the full story. Or the latest take on Nord's blog post here (which I believe to be complete bull) :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icD3Bva7xtY
