Protection for searches and connecting to your torrent service control panel
e.g. Private Internet Access, ProXPN, etc.

e.g. Torrentcloud, Your Seedbox, etc.

Anonymous email service (Optional)
Just something good to have for many reasons
e.g. Hide My Ass anonymous email, GuerrilaMail, etc.
Ability to pay with Bitcoin (Optional but recommended)
