Does anyone have a list of VPNs banned thusfar? I run a proxy provider right now, and am branching into VPNs in the coming months. But I will be actively filtering against torrent traffic since it seems to be such an attractor of negative attention. I wonder if these bans apply mostly to torrent-marketed providers?

Also, is it possible they were banned for other reasons? Eg high chargeback ratios? I can tell you from experience that chargeback ratios in the anonymization industry are very high, for obvious reasons.

I spoke to a friend that owns and operates a VPN service and he says it is only iPredator at the moment, and that is conveniently left out of the torrentfreak article. To me it looks like MasterCard is just targeting the pirate bay peeps.
