paintball9 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 uTorrent doesn't work properly through a proxy, only tracker communication works not peer connection. If you want to stay behind a server/another IP I suggest you look into a VPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviL-RaBBi Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 but iv been able to use utorrent with proxyand use it with peer by peer proxy as welli just cant understand the diffrence between HTTP and HTTPS proxy option.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintball9 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Did you put the proxy options in utorrent? If so then your peer connections are not going through the proxy. If you somehow managed to route all computer traffic through the proxy then it shouldn't make a difference whether or not its secure or not.

EviL-RaBBi Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 there is an option to chooose to route peers trough the proxyand againyes i can make it workthe question is what's the diffrence.. cause i prefer it to be SECURE since i dont want the proxy to be able to know what im doing... and yet i cant see an diffrence between the HTTP and HTTPS optionthere for i was wondering what IS the diffrence...

paintball9 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Oh, I should have looked, Last time I used this setting that was not an option.Anyways that setting (http, https, socks) is the type of proxy.If it is an https proxy it will still route http traffic through but the connection to the proxy will be secure so no one will be able to read the information traveling to the proxy. If it is https then the proxy can still see all the http traffic going through it clearly. the sites themselves need to be secure to prevent that.You will need to check what kind of proxy it is before you choose the setting. Some proxies only work on one. With your login and pass information they should have told you what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Additionally, no udp traffic is proxied in uTorrent, regardless of your proxy settings. If you want that traffic proxied, you MUST use a vpn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviL-RaBBi Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 than two questions...1) the HTTPS proxy is encrypting the information outside of it.. or is it encrypted between me and him? cuase when i used a packet sniffer i still could read the GET and CONNECT to the proxy even when i chose https.. if it would of been encrypted i shouldnt have been able to seen it.. am i right?2) the udp information is for torrent/scrap/peers information? or data exchange?and thanks for the quick answers!

DreadWingKnight Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 UDP is used for DHT and uTP traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
