splashote Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hey everybody,I would like to limit uTorrents activity to a VPN connection established through a Cisco client. I don't want uTorrent to connect any more once the connection is broken down. I tried to limit uTorrent to the IP i get assigned after establishing the connection, but this does not work as utorrent keeps working after deconnecting Cisco.Could you tell me how I could achieve to limit utorrent to the VPN-Connection? This could also involve another software as a firewall etc.Thanks!*edit:Does anybody know where it does not work to limit uTorrent to a single IP? I found the option in the advanced options, but obviously it does not work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Maybe a very good software firewall could be set up to only allow uTorrent.exe to make network traffic to/from the VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashote Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ok, I will try. Could you recommend me one?Actually it bothers me that there is this advanced option that should solve my problem, but it does not. Or do I misunderstand the option? It is net.bind-ip ...

Lord Alderaan Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Comodo is a good one and allows you to limit traffic to network or IP ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashote Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I installed Comodo and everything seemed fine but every time I establish a VPN connection, I get a bluescreen. Not very nice Anyway, I think that there must be another solution than installing additional Software. I'm sorry to ask this in the uTorrent Forum, but do you know of other bittorrent clients that really support the feature of limiting connections to an IP or a range of IPs?

DreadWingKnight Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Restricting your connection to a specific adapter (which is what you're trying to do) breaks because of problems with the binding system in windows.And really, that's the only real option you have.

splashote Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 So there is no difference between restricting a connection to an adapter (I suppose this would e,g, be the Wireless-Module) and restricting it to a single IP? That seems odd to me. Then what does the option refer to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
