Superchargemytorrent Promises Anonymity to BitTorrent Users
The hunting of file sharers led by the entertainment industry with the occasional help from the ISPs has determined the former to look for a solid solution to protect their anonymity on the Internet. The demand for anonymity services has consequently increased a great deal and so has the offering.
Superchargemytorrent.com offers such a service, and in exchange for $5 a month BitTorrent users can have their torrent traffic rerouted and sleep more easily at night. If you want to give it a try, there’s a two day trial for just $1.
But Superchargemytorrent.com is more than an anti-piracy proof tool – the service is meant to also help you in case your Internet service provider (or your campus network operator) is interfering with Bittorrent traffic. The service is based on a Socks proxy server, which is good news because this will spare you from having to set up a VPN connection for all your Internet traffic. P2P-blog explains: “you just enter the proxy server's address and your credentials into uTorrent or Vuze, and you're ready to go” [...] “Let's say you use a VPN provider with servers in Canada. Sounds good in theory, but it also has the consequence that Hulu.com won't let you watch any of their clips anymore. To them, it will look like you're Canadian.”
So, if you’re finding yourself with a need for anonymity check out Supercharge My Torrent.
