What’s The Best VPN / Proxy for BitTorrent?

Privacy is important on the Internet, and BitTorrent users are certainly not excluded.

Already, hundreds of thousands of BitTorrent users have decided to hide their IP-address to the public, and more are joining every day.

Some use specialized BitTorrent proxies and VPNs like BTGuard, but there are many other options.

boxUnfortunately, however, not all VPNs are very BitTorrent friendly.

In fact, some explicitly prohibit the use of file-sharing software.

So my question to all anonymous TorrentFreak users is: What VPN / Proxy are you using? And is it any good?

Other suggestions, questions and comments are welcome too.
