ranpha Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Currently in utorrent 1.6.1 (I have not looked into the betas), you can proxify your tracker communication alone or tracker+peer-to-peer communications. Thus I request a feature where I can proxify only peer-to-peer communication but leaving the tracker communication not through proxy. I checked and Azureus 2.5 can do this. So it doesn't seem to be illegal or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 What's the point? This doesn't sound very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranpha Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 My ISP throttles BT traffic, thus I use VPN to bypass it. But as the private tracker I used is logging ratio by IP, I need the tracker to to track my real IP while using the VPN proxy to download and upload to peers.

Firon Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Uh, can't you just browse the site through the VPN too so it gets the VPN's IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranpha Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Yes I can, but the tracker is also used by other people who used the same VPN service. If someone else accessed the same tracker with the VPN, the torrent(s) they downloaded will be attributed to me thus ruining my ratio if they do not keep it 1:1.

Lord Alderaan Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Might be a long shot but maybe you could make a static route on your computer that routes traffic to the IP of the tracker through your normal connection/gateway and then force the rest of the traffic through the VPN service somehow?

ranpha Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Well I have no idea how to do that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeitso Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 This is similar to a request I made a while ago, asking if it might be possible to specify separate proxies for peer-to-peer and tracker communications, which I guess if implemented would have to same affect (i.e. make it possible to use a proxy for peer-to-peer and not for tracker communications).Is there any reason to assume that people will want to use the same proxy server for p2p and to the tracker? If you think about it, the type of data transferred and the characteristics of the exchange are very different.Communications with the tracker are:* Not at all bandwidth-intensive* Not prone to being throttled* InfrequentCommunications with other peers are:* Very bandwidth-intensive* Prone to being throttled* ConstantGiven how different the characteristics are, isn't it reasonable to assume that a person might want to use a proxy for p2p and not to the tracker, use a proxy to the tracker and not for p2p, or use a different proxy for each? Wouldn't it be an asset to utorrent if each of these configurations were possible, rather than just the second?Sorry if it seems like I'm hijacking, but I do think that the issues raised by ranpha are pertinent to what I've said, and that if you did choose to make it possible to use a proxy for p2p while not for communicating with the tracker, it would be incomplete not to also add the ability to specify a separate proxy for each.

ranpha Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 hmmm... so this feature will not be implemented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cottonseed Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I also would like to see this feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I like makeitso's explanation. That is what swayed me on this.But I definitely feel this is just a stop-gap measure against the ongoing fight of us using the bandwidth our connections have...and ISPs denying us of that.

alpha_maverick Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 can we expect this in an upcoming release? I am planning on tunneling my peer connections from school to an ssh server, and tunneling my tracker connections into tor (since they don't use much bandwidth), and I need to have separate proxy settings. (right now, I just have everything tunneled into my ssh server, but I want to have the tracker connections going into tor.any chance we could see this in 1.8?I really could use this option at school!

tomlock Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Is it possible to implement that feature in next version? Because i'm using a private tracker which forbid a proxy for tracker connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitwasserfall Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hi, I was just looking for that function in µTorrent 2.2 and couldn't find it, so is it still not possible to configure a proxy in µTorrent for P2P connections only?I also would like to have that function because I use a tracker which doesn't allow connections from a VPN or proxy and blocks most of the well known. However I don't really mind showing the tracker my real IP, but would like to be more anonymous towards the other peers.Right now it seems you can use a proxy towards the trackers only, towards the tracker and peers but not yet towards the peers only. If possible please consider implementing this feature in the future.Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
