I was starting some download recently and a web page popped up asking me to subscribe to VPN to protect my privacy. I had McAfee virus protection, but for cost reasons went to Norton VPN service. The second I went to the VPN, all of my uTorrent traffic stopped. When I had installed the McAfee anti-virus protection it worked fine. Just a note there. Could it be with a hidden IP Address, uTorrent does not know where to send the files? How do I get around this. I did read the Norton blocking uTorrent, but that sounded more like Norton treated uTorrent as a virus. But I am just using VPN through them.
