DickB Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Last week I reported an unexplained slowdown (to essentially nil) in torrent downloads. I later realized that it was associated with running PrivateVPN. After installing the VPN, I tested it several different ways to see if it hurt download/upload speeds, but the effect wasn't substantial. So I presumed the same would be true for torrenting. And the hell of it is, I found PrivateVPN on a site listing VPNs known to work with BitTorrent (although not specifically with the uTorrent client). All this caused because I kept seeing references to the importance of VPNs, **especially** with BitTorrent. Is anybody else using a VPN successfully with uTorrent?

PiusX Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 We don't discuss VPN or Proxy on here this isn't the reason for this forum existing. Others will think by discussing VPN that it's a help for VPN but that is beyond the scope of utorrent help here. If you want VPN help contact the VPN provider for more help.

DickB Posted September 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I realize that you Advanced Members must keep out the newbies and other such riffraff, but I wasn't really asking for help with VPN, just whether uTorrent is compatible with a VPN, i.e., is anybody else successfully using it with a VPN? A simple yes or no was all I was looking for, not tech support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have mentioned that the connection is being dropped when using a VPN with uTorrent. Restarting uTorrent *should* temporarily fix things.

PiusX Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I am used Proxy settings and have no throttles so that could be VPN doesn't like your using them for utorrent actions so they throttle all torrent activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
