  • VPN – Generally costs a monthly fee to rent, but offers users a secure connection where data cannot be intercepted.
  • Force Encryption – Free method that works for some users.
  • Seedbox – A dedicated private server, usually hosted offshore, that offers high speed upstream and downstream rates and often storage for a relatively high monthly cost.
  • SSH Tunneling
