Ive been trying torrentprivacy. I just cannot make it work for me, but the support has been pleasant and responsive. they charge, but the segway people who handle the charges seem reliable and helpful also. Im not sure whether my problems with TP are in the system or in me. I cant seem to get my verizon router to open up port 22, although it will open 2222. Both ports are mentioned as essential to the TP client.
Any program relating to anonymity and p2p file sharing does nothing to protect uploader's/downloader's identity. It slows down your pc and offers a false sense of security. If you are really concerned about minimizing your footprint then I would dwell into learning how p2p works and perhaps be also a bit more selective where I decide to login.
Torrent Privacy advertises itself as a VPN. A secure tunnel that they claim will hide your IP address from those on the swarm for a monthly fee.
Others like it are/were Relakks, BT Guard and Torrent Freedom. I'm not sure about any of them other than their claims and that they advertise themselves to be secure VPN tunnels etc and are marketed towards torrent users. Basically, it might, if it's set up right and it works as it says it does, hide your real IP from being harvested by an anti-p2p org monitoring torrent swarms, but it seems to me then you would then be trusting the company with your personal info and how private they would be with it, and that they would be able to maintain your privacy in the event of legal action taken against them. If the authorities come in with a warrant and haul the servers away, could that come back on you? Could it give them a trail right back to you, not just an IP address, with evidence that you were purposefully trying to mask what you are doing? I know of no cases like that, but it's something you might want to consider.
You can use either VPN or SSH secureencrypted tunnels, for the beginning you can try pirateray.com/promo/torrents/ , for example, the most affordable and easy to install
:) yes indeed, I just came a cross with this post and wanted to share what I'm investigating currently. The world changes and there are more new solutions on this wide subject on how can we safely download the music, books, and video and be protected againts possible copyright infringement and p2p lawsuits. At least, we can protect our freedom and privacy by using secure SSH connections and staying anonymous. Pirate Ray doesn't keep logs or any records and has no limits on speeds.
It is also not free. (that is past seven days.)
Which is just what we deal with here at "ZEROPAID".
There are countless other programs that do the samething that cost "ZERO" to obtain.
Now here is another biggy for you and the program that you are shilling.
Here at ZP we do not support, endorce, or promote copyright infringement.
This program states that it is meant as an aid to violate this law.
Yet I find this little disclaimer on it's site.
"The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws."
It is a program meant to violate copyright, yet they do not want someone to violate their copyright.
Go push your Russian pay for hypocritical criminal activity somewhere else "Mr. Anderson"!
