@anilseela It works in India and outside India as well. You might have restrictions that prevent PPTP connections, but then there is OpenVPN. If you have port restrictions, we can help with that too, and if you have protocol restrictions, we can help you use the VPN through an SSH tunnel. That's the good thing about TorVPN, it has more protocols, IP's and ports you can connect to, so there's almost always a way to get around content filters.
Thanks for this. I stumbled onto this vid from the vid you responded to. It recently came to my attention how visible some of my stuff is. (My fault for being an idiot.) So I was looking for something exactly like this.
@bigtuba09 Not at all, you can use it for shielding yourself while you're on a public Wi-Fi network, moving around, from a laptop, PC or a smartphone. I recommend becoming a customer though, because some free users give out the password and connect from many different networks which becomes suspicious, but it is not an issue if you're a client.
@IJackTheBauer those are make-believe solutions. "Hide my IP" "Auto hide IP" and similar software only configure a proxy from a public list. Peer guardian is for something completely different (and still useless IMHO, it's just something to block specific networks). You never really finished your question though, "good enough" FOR WHAT? There may be a few things they are good for, but by using a VPN, you'd have almost all of it all covered at once.
@IJackTheBauer By the way, I don't blame you. There are so many programs out there mistifying what they actually do and making it look like they're doing a lot more than that. Those two programs you mentioned are very good examples of this. I'm not saying they could not be helpful in some cases, but I would never use them, especially when there is something much faster and more secure out there.
@IJackTheBauer Is that 'hide my ip' software actually doing anything else than configuring a proxy for your internet connections? Does it even have an effect on your torrent client? Check your communication with Wireshark (not the trackers, the data itself). There is a good chance using both of those makes no difference what so ever. Or just use the VPN, of course :) That's a sure thing. Then you don't need any of them anyway.
@IJackTheBauer Told you ;-) Moral of the story: fancy advertisements, good design and marketing can make you use a product but that doesn't make the product itself good (or even work, in this case). Uninstall those 'magic' programs, use TorVPN.
@blunty6feetunder Yes, of course. Everything goes through this encrypted tunnel and a different IP is visible (to websites, torrent peers, everything) unless you specifically configure it differently.
You don't have to install OpenVPN or any software to use TorVPN (but OpenVPN is recommended). See the following tutorial on how to set up VPN with the built-in Windows PPTP feature: /watch?v=7brvyJWuL1E

Question. Would it matter if I'm on a laptop and I use different networks?
I tend to move a bit. Please reply asap.
