Hi, a few months ago i saw an advertising here on FST about a proxy service to use torrents through.
I have searched but i am unable to find it, does anyone know of the service im talking about or of another service that is the same.:D

Plus, vpn > proxy in speed, which I would assume is also important, no?

Depends on the service - if both have fast lines, it's the same :) Also, with a proxy you have the advantage of choosing which apps you want to tunnel, instead of all your network traffic. The proxy can't take incoming connections for you, though.

I once used the BTGuard trial and maxed out the 2Mbit I had at the time. No idea of how it is now.
 
I never used a proxy, what are the advantages of using one. Is it a safer way of using bt, I know its not allowed on some sites, but is it banned from all site.
 
You hide your real IP. This is very nice for security reasons, but trackers don't like proxies because of that same thing - for them, hiding your IP means you've had an account in the past.

Most are OK with VPNs, but if in doubt, ask their staff first.

but is it banned from all site.

Not all sites. :unsure:

Thank you for the info, but im going to stay clear from proxy, because i dont want to jeopardize any of my sites. Does VPN or PG2 keep you safe from anti p2p organizations?
