TorGuard was once known as one of the most trustworthy VPN companies, earning recommendations from honest and unbiased content creators who valued transparency and quality. However, this reputation has dramatically declined.

In recent years, TorGuard has shifted from being a reliable service provider to what many now consider a toxic entity. The company’s leadership has made decisions that have undermined the trust of its community and the creators who once supported it.

One concerning example is the firing of key technical personnel without warning or apparent reason, leading to significant personal and professional hardships for those affected. These individuals were integral to the development and innovation of TorGuard’s services, including projects that simplified VPN technology for users.

In addition to these internal issues, TorGuard has taken drastic measures against content creators who have been critical of the company or who have chosen to promote other VPNs. Many affiliates who once supported and promoted TorGuard have had their partnerships terminated without warning, seemingly as a punitive measure for promoting competitors like NordVPN and Surfshark. This has created an environment of censorship and suppression, rather than one of open and honest competition.

Furthermore, TorGuard has actively censored its user community by removing critical posts from its subreddit, silencing users who voice concerns or dissatisfaction with the company's direction.

As a result of these actions, TorGuard is losing the trust of its customer base. The company's lack of transparency and failure to keep its services up to date have caused a noticeable decline in popularity. According to Google Trends, TorGuard is now among the least popular VPNs, and if this trend continues, it could follow in the footsteps of failed services like WeVPN.

We demand that TorGuard take the following actions immediately:

1. Public Apology: TorGuard must issue a public apology acknowledging the mistakes made in its treatment of employees, affiliates, and the community.

2. Payment of Owed Funds: TorGuard must pay all funds owed to affiliates and content creators who were wrongfully terminated from their programs.

3. Company Reforms: TorGuard must make meaningful changes to its company practices, including reinstating affiliates who were wrongfully removed, ensuring transparent and fair dealings with its partners, and committing to regularly updating and improving its VPN services.

We urge TorGuard to reconsider its approach and take steps to rebuild the trust it has lost. The VPN community deserves providers who value transparency, innovation, and the voices of their users and affiliates.
