- hexer611, on 08/12/2008, -8/+7193 diggs and no comments, Ok who's afraid to post their user name in fear that the MAFIAA is going to watching them even further!!
- Disinterested, on 08/12/2008, -2/+58but i like the whole risk factor
makes me feel like a badass...

- speel, on 08/12/2008, -2/+51This all sounded cool till the end of the article and found out you gotta pay for this *****.
- teh_spazz, on 08/12/2008, -0/+47Costs money. How is this any different than one of the SSH tunnel providers in Canada or elsewhere?
- Mononuclear, on 08/12/2008, -0/+41This is great until the government seizes their servers and has logs of all your activity attached with name address and credit card # to identify who exactly you are. IP address is hard to prove but with all of your personal information it won't be hard.
You are much better off with enabling encryption in utorrent or whatever you use and using some form of IP blocking with an updated list or using free anonymous proxies. - ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -0/+38Great tool but PeerGuardian would not protect you from traffic shaping, it would only block connections from any anti-p2p organizations... and even that isn't a guarantee.
- moocow1452, on 08/13/2008, -0/+37Come on man, even Pirates have standards.
- webkami, on 08/12/2008, -4/+40***** THE MPAA !!!!
- jemka, on 08/12/2008, -2/+37-OR-
Download all torrents with your neighbor's unsecured wireless internet connection. - inactive, on 08/12/2008, -2/+34Peer Guardian gives a false sense of security. It will only protect you against orgs who are stupid enough to use known IP addresses.
- thecowispg13, on 08/13/2008, -1/+31***** THE YMCA! Did I do it right?
- lsloany, on 08/12/2008, -0/+29Can I use Torrent Privacy to secretly torrent Torrent Privacy?
- zinc6471, on 08/12/2008, -1/+28always relevant in any thread
- nickbr00tality, on 08/12/2008, -0/+23100 dollars for a year!!?? um no thanks.
- Alex2, on 08/12/2008, -0/+22Summary: they're a proxy for torrent protocol. You connect to them, and then they connect to the hundreds of other leechers. It's a pay service.
- opensourcer, on 08/12/2008, -2/+23making money using scare tactic...buried
- hartley, on 08/13/2008, -0/+20NUKE THE WHALES!
- Zedizdead, on 08/13/2008, -0/+20Don't they realize that the majority of torrent users DON'T like to pay for things?
- johnnyzero, on 08/12/2008, -0/+17How do you expect people to value their work when they are using the tool to freely download other people's work which might be considered to be of value as well?
- Arthemys, on 08/13/2008, -0/+16***** *
- AzureRise, on 08/12/2008, -0/+15You know what!? We're being watched by the RIAA/MPAA/The Government/nosy people/CRIA and who knows what else. ***** EVERYONE.
- curseoflou, on 08/13/2008, -0/+14always relevant in any bed
- LemmingJesus, on 08/12/2008, -1/+14Oh yeah? Watch me.
- ElBeh, on 08/12/2008, -1/+14It's funny how they're asking people to pay for it, like they don't know that the users will be pirates.
- CosmicJustice, on 08/12/2008, -0/+13You can't torrent their connection server.
- tedrock, on 08/13/2008, -0/+11it's a service you tool. you can't crack a service. why don't you go crack yourself up a free version of car insurance while your at it?
- Coded1, on 08/13/2008, -0/+11True and once money is involved responsibility for their service will soon follow. Followed by a lawsuit demanding the names and account numbers of everyone who paid them for access, followed by confiscation of servers and logs, followed by you ass getting sued.
- ElBeh, on 08/12/2008, -0/+11Why? Torrentfreak is great at reporting legit torrent-related information. Why should I suddenly trust you over them?
- MasterThief117, on 08/13/2008, -0/+10It's fun to stay at the MPAA!
Wait, ***** - inactive, on 08/12/2008, -0/+10Dude, it's a service, not an app.
- RedHerringHack, on 08/13/2008, -1/+11***** NANCY PELOSI
- tavisjohn, on 08/13/2008, -0/+10At first glance this sounded like a great idea, utill I got to the "Connect to a server close to you" part. At that point I figured that they were an SSH tunnel service, NOT a new cool Torrent Privacy App...
So this seems more like an advertisement than news.
There are already many well established SSH tunnel services out there for BitTorrent traffic... - itsjussed, on 08/13/2008, -0/+9who will guard the guardians?
- Genrre, on 08/12/2008, -2/+11A great program but not perfect. The service mentioned in the article looks much more secure. Anyways, PG2 ftw.
- paulvq, on 08/13/2008, -0/+9I hate to say it, but the only guarantee that you're never going to get caught is by not downloading.
And we all know that's not going to happen. - theyt, on 08/13/2008, -2/+11the $100 would be better spent on a rapidshare premium account.
- nickstang, on 08/13/2008, -0/+9and slow as molasses.
- Sabotage15, on 08/13/2008, -0/+9i was about to click the link to it until i read it cost money :'(
guess we have to wait until tpb makes something... - MacSuxWindozSux, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7That's not true. Plenty of people who don't even own computers have been sued.
- s3than, on 08/12/2008, -0/+7If you have to pay wouldn't you have to leave details? If any of their servers are in the USA what's to stop the courts seizing the logs?
- michaelz92, on 08/13/2008, -5/+12PeerGuardian is about as effective as a user's tin foil hat. Any of those p2p organizations could go to their house, and get some IPs from there, and that would not be blocked. I guess it's better than nothing.
- espoandy, on 08/12/2008, -1/+8I hope some group like google or the pirate bay creates this same software for free
- Tripper44, on 08/12/2008, -0/+7Well said, well said! Off to contradiction class for you Genrre :P
- seandfeeney, on 08/13/2008, -2/+9If you need the privacy element to your torrent downloads then you most likely are pirating... If you are pirating, you probably can't afford or don't want to shell out the money for that item... So that leads me to the question of, why would you purchase privacy when you could just go out and buy the item legally?
- nickstang, on 08/13/2008, -0/+6Tor would work if there weren't as many leechers. If they expanded the idea of Tor to be similiar to the ratio transfers that p2p employs, it might work. For instance,.. any person using Tor should also automatically be configured as a server. Until that happens,.. expect Tor to be painfully slow.
