The shortest useful answer about TorGuard: find out what their current published rate is, find out whether your balance expires, then measure success rate on your own target. Everything below expands those three steps.
Read this first if you want a VPN
Worth saying immediately: TorGuard is a VPN and we are not a VPN company. A VPN encrypts everything your device sends and routes it through one tunnel. A proxy sends one app or one request through an address you choose, with the country and often the city under your control, and adds no encryption of its own.
That difference decides which one you want. Whole-device privacy on untrusted networks is the VPN job. Appearing to come from a particular place, at scale, with control over rotation and sessions, is the proxy job.
So: if you left TorGuard because automation kept getting blocked, or because you needed a fixed address or a specific location, keep reading. If you left because of streaming, apps or price, a VPN comparison will serve you better than this page will.
What we can and cannot tell you about TorGuard
The domain is torguard.net.
TorGuard is not in our priced record, so nothing about their rate appears below. That gap is stated rather than filled, which is the only honest option available.
Copy down the entry rate, the commitment attached to the cheapest rate, the minimum top-up and the expiry rule. Those four turn a marketing figure into something you can compare.
How TorGuard presents itself
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "Just a moment...".
Also on the page, stated plainly:
We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
Longevity, on the public record
The domain was registered on 5 March 2012, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, which makes it about 14 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from March 2012. Their registration is booked through 5 March 2030.
Age is not quality. A long registration does not make a network good, and a new one does not make it bad. What it does rule out is the shortest-lived pattern in this market, which is a site that appears, sells, and is gone inside a year.
Where the interest in TorGuard goes
Google reports 160 searches a month worldwide across the terms carrying this brand: 110 a month for a review of them, 40 a month for their pricing and 10 a month for an alternative to them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
Most of that demand is people checking whether to trust it. That is what this page is written for, and it is why the sections above lead with what is published rather than with a verdict.
The top bid on those terms reaches $6.54 a click. That is the market pricing its own customers, and it explains why almost every other result you found is an affiliate page.
What the advertised numbers cannot tell you
Ten million addresses, and none of them yours
The number that matters is how many usable exits you can reach in the one country your job needs, this week. A pool total averages that away, which is why two providers with similar totals produce opposite results on the same site.
The entry price is not the effective price
Divide what you spent in a month by what you actually used, and you have the only rate worth quoting. It usually sits well above the figure on the homepage, because tiers, minimums and unused allocation all sit between the two.
The expiry question
Expiry is the quietest price increase in this market. A plan sized for a busy month is expensive in a slow one, and the difference never appears in any comparison table, including ones written by vendors who benefit from it.
What separates them, in a table
The table answers what we can answer and marks what we cannot:
| Question to ask | TorGuard | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Check the current terms, this one moves | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Read their current terms | None |
| Identity checks | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Read their current terms | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Every unfilled cell above is a question to put to them directly, in writing, before money changes hands. Vendors answer those questions readily; comparison sites guess at them.
How to settle it yourself in ten minutes
Run this before you commit any volume. It replaces every opinion on this page, including ours.
- Start with the smallest purchase each vendor allows, so the test costs less than the decision it replaces.
- Use your own scraper and your own target. A benchmark against a neutral site measures nothing you will experience.
- Measure what came back correctly and what it consumed, then divide the spend by the successes.
- Push a sample of exit addresses through an independent checker and confirm the country and connection type are what was advertised.
- Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.
The other names that come up
Other providers in the same bracket, priced and dated the same way:
- iXBrowser alternatives
- Jiguangdaili (极光代理) alternatives
- Jinglingip (精灵代理) alternatives
- Jshop Biz alternatives
- Juliangip (巨量代理) alternatives
- Justproxy alternatives
The disclaimer at the top stands at the bottom too. We are not the answer to "which VPN next". We are the answer to "I need requests to come from somewhere specific, reliably".
The competing offer, for completeness
HProxy suits buyers who want to add funds, send traffic and stop thinking about it. Residential from $0.44 per GB, no commitment, nothing expiring. Buyers who need procurement paperwork and a named account manager are better served elsewhere, and we would rather say so here than waste your afternoon.
