SiriusB Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I know this is an old post, but I too have this issue. Anytime utorrent (or any BT client)) is running and I connect my work vpn, the vpn just goes dead. It doesn't disconnect but just doesn't pass through traffic and I have to disconnect and re-dial the vpn every few minutes.This is true even if the torrent client and the vpn are being used on two different machines over the same router.Both machines are windows based. I am fairly handy with routing tables. But what's maddening is that I just cannot fathom what could be causing the issue. I have also tried setting the machine running the torrent client as the dmz host but in vain.Any insights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Are you sure your VPN is designed to support P2P? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusB Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 ^^No, this is my work vpn for working from home. This is not a vpn setup to pass-through the torrent traffic for anonymity or whatever reason. I don't want torrent traffic through the vpn but through the public gateway. Hope I am clear.

SiriusB Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 No luck so far. Anyone has an idea of what the problem might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 But if you have a VPN and you're running µT at the same time, the p2p traffic passes through the VPN and surely overloads it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusB Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I have unchecked "Use default gateway on remote network" and added routing table entries to route only selected IP addresses through the vpn connection. So basically, no Internet traffic gets through the vpn. I know this works because the remote network has a firewall that blocks all non-work related domains/IP addresses. But with this setup, I can do work and, say, check facebook/orkut at the same time.But somehow torrent traffic will make the vpn "unresponsive" just after 5 mins. Don't have a clue why.

moogly Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Because if your µT client is bad configured (bandwidth and queueing settings), you overload the connection.http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=58404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
