The program pays a flat 30% of every payment the referred customer makes, for as long as they stay — one of the few true lifetime revenue-share deals in the vertical. The cookie is 60 days, payouts are monthly from a $50 balance, and payment is by crypto or wire. Some affiliates have reported slow payouts in public forums, so start small and confirm your first payment before scaling.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • 30% on every renewal, forever — the purest recurring model on this list
  • 60-day cookie and a $50 threshold
  • Crypto payouts suit affiliates who cannot use PayPal

Cons

  • Low headline rate per sale compared with 100% first-month offers
  • Niche brand with limited mainstream recognition and marketing support
  • Published complaints about payout delays — verify before relying on it

Who should promote TorGuard

Technical audiences: torrenting, self-hosting, port-forwarding and dedicated-IP content. Publishers who prefer crypto payouts. Not for mainstream review sites, where the brand is unknown.
