lichung Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 My ISP is throttling bt and I've setup a VPN connection to my frd's server using WinXP VPN connection. It's working properly but the only problem is, once the VPN connection has dropped, utorrent will keep on sending request through LAN, which will be detected by my ISP. Is there any way to restrict utorrent to use the VPN only, eg. trigger a re-connection of the VPN and wait until the VPN is properly connected?

Switeck Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Some of µTorrent's advanced settings may help that, I'm not sure.Are you also using FORCED Protocol Encryption with NO legacy connections?This may at least leave little/no bittorrent packets in the clear for your ISP to recognize in the event your VPN goes down.

silverfire Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 If you have a static IP on the VPN, then it should be fairly simple. All you need to do is go to advanced and set net.bind_ip to your VPN IP address. Otherwise, you're screwed unless you like changing options every time you connect.

lichung Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 but no matter wht ip i put on the net.bind_ip the utorrent will work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 What is causing the VPN connection to be dropped?Is dropping happening often?(In other words, even if you can't solve the problem, can you make the problem less likely to happen?)Is DHT, UPnP, resovlve ips/show country flags disabled in µTorrent?(If you think µTorrent is somehow causing the VPN connection to drop, they may be causing it!)Have you also tried setting net.outgoing_port to the same as µTorrent's incoming listening port?What about setting net.bind_ip and net.outgoing_ip to the same value?
