DHT seems to bypass proxy.

I have recently installed uTorrent on a new machine, and am running it through a proxy manager. I can browse and DL torrents through the proxy, but noticed this morning that uTorrent was logging onto DHT nodes before the proxy was established. It wouldn't connect to peers w/o the proxy, but the DHT nodes caught my attention.

I'm running on a 64-bit Vista system,

Utorrent settings: - BitTorrent

DHT Enabled

DHT for new networks

Local Peer Discovery Enabled

Ask Tracker for scrape - Enabled

Enable Peer Exchange.

Protocol Encryption - Forced

Legacy Connection Disallowed.

Connection:

UPnP Enabled

NAT-PMP port mapping - enabled

Port randomized each start

Windows firewall exception added

Proxy - Socks5

hostnames resolved through proxy

proxy used for peer-topeer connections.

Any extra info needed? Shouldn't DHT connections be proxied also, or should I disable DHT?

Thanks.
