TorGuard VPN Features 2026

Features that set TorGuard apart

TorGuard is positioned for power users, torrent/seedbox enthusiasts and people who need reliable streaming unblocking. Its differentiator isn't "everything for everyone" — it's engineering-grade choice: three selectable IP types, configurable ciphers and a stealth suite that combines several techniques in one client. Every plan ships with unlimited bandwidth.

• Three selectable IP types: Dedicated, Residential and Streaming IP (add-ons, none shared with other users)
• Stealth VPN spanning Stunnel, OpenConnect, Shadowsocks and OpenVPN over SSL/SSH to beat the strictest DPI
• A network of 3,000+ servers across 50+ countries (US-registered company)
• Port forwarding and remote ports for seedboxes/self-hosting
• Selectable ciphers, including AES-256-GCM and faster options
• Unlimited bandwidth on every plan, full P2P/torrent support

Stealth VPN & DPI bypass

For users in networks that block VPNs, TorGuard's Stealth VPN makes VPN traffic look like ordinary HTTPS, so the Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) systems many networks use to detect and cut VPNs can't tell the difference. TorGuard doesn't ship just one mode — it offers several techniques to match the network.

• Stunnel — wraps OpenVPN in TLS so it resembles regular HTTPS web traffic.
• OpenConnect — mimics enterprise SSL-VPN protocols and passes many corporate firewalls.
• Shadowsocks — an obfuscating proxy popular in heavily censored networks.
• OpenVPN over SSL/SSH — layered tunneling for the most restrictive networks.

Combined with port 443, users on hotel, office or restricted-country networks can often connect even when ordinary VPNs are blocked.

Three IP types: Dedicated, Residential, Streaming

What clearly separates TorGuard from most VPNs is that you can choose your IP type instead of being stuck on one shared pool. Each type suits a different job.

• Dedicated IP — a static IP that's yours alone, reducing CAPTCHAs and shared-IP blocks; ideal for remote desktop and IP-sensitive systems.
• Residential IP — a real home IP leased directly from major ISPs in the US and UK, making it virtually impossible for sites to tell you're on a VPN; ideal where datacenter IPs are blocked.
• Streaming IP — IPs hand-picked for compatibility with streaming services, not shared with other users.

Having all three is a technical strength budget VPNs rarely offer.

The Streaming Bundle in depth

TorGuard's Streaming Bundle is a Streaming IP hand-picked to work with popular streaming platforms, and you can buy an IP in a specific country — for example a UK IP to access UK content. Because Streaming IPs are private and not shared, they're harder to flag as a VPN than shared pools, which usually means more stable connections and fewer block messages.

Port forwarding & P2P/torrent

TorGuard is openly P2P/torrent-friendly and supports port forwarding, which matters greatly for seedbox operators or anyone who needs to accept inbound connections. With the right port open, torrent peer connectivity improves and maintaining ratio on private trackers becomes easier.

• Open/adjust port forwarding from the account dashboard
• Ideal for seedboxes, game servers and home services
• P2P allowed on many servers with unlimited bandwidth

Kill switch & leak protection

TorGuard includes a kill switch that cuts the internet the moment the VPN drops, enforced DNS leak protection that forces every query through the tunnel, and WebRTC leak prevention. Advanced users can run the kill switch system-wide or bound to specific apps.

• System-wide kill switch against IP leaks on disconnect
• Enforced DNS leak protection on every query
• Verify at dnsleaktest.com and with WebRTC leak tools

Split tunneling

TorGuard supports split tunneling so a banking app can use your local IP (to avoid anti-fraud blocks) while a torrent client or browser routes through the VPN at the same time. On Windows, control goes down to the per-process level.

Protocols & encryption

TorGuard supports WireGuard, OpenVPN (UDP/TCP), IKEv2 and a full stealth suite. The standout is that you can pick the cipher rather than being locked to one default, balancing speed and security per task.

• WireGuard — fastest for general use and streaming
• OpenVPN (UDP/TCP) — selectable ciphers, including AES-256-GCM
• IKEv2 — stable on mobile when switching networks
• Stealth: Stunnel, OpenConnect, Shadowsocks, OpenVPN over SSL/SSH

Devices & simultaneous connections

TorGuard has apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux and can be configured on routers. Worth knowing: simultaneous connections differ by plan — the Standard plan allows 8 devices, while Pro/Business plans allow up to 12.

• Windows / macOS / Linux
• iOS / Android
• Router (OpenVPN/WireGuard)
• 8 simultaneous devices (Standard) / up to 12 (Pro/Business)

Server network & jurisdiction

TorGuard runs roughly 3,000+ servers across 50+ countries spanning the Americas, Europe and Asia — useful when you need IPs in many regions and low latency to a nearby server. The company is registered in the United States, a jurisdiction point users should weigh according to their own privacy needs.

• 3,000+ servers in 50+ countries
• Asian servers offer lower latency from Thailand
• Jurisdiction: United States
