Thanks for the replies. I've now read the information on the website about xCloak. Could tell me if this service is suitable for torrenting? I don't need to use it at the moment, but I'm thinking about the future. The Australian government is preparing to crack down on file sharing activities, and some people are speculating that if VPNs become widely used to get around the government's regulations, then they may go after VPN users next. This may never happen of course, but I like to be prepared.
