TheGift73 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 utorrent has always worked perfectly for me, but whenever I try to download anything whilst connected to my VPN it will completely stop. Looking at my ipconfig/all I can see that the (Preferred) IPv4 Address is 192.168.111.101 under the heading of 'PPP adapter VPN Connection:' When I try to edit the firewall rules in my router (Netgear DG834PN) to change the 'Send to LAN' address from 192.168.0.9 (static) to the VPN one (192.168.111.101) it will tell me that it's an illegal address?Any ideas?

TheGift73 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi DreadWingKnight,Thank you for your reply. I feel like a bit of an idiot for not checking earlier, but my VPN does not support P2P hence the issues I believe. My VPN is FBVPN in case any one is wondering. For everything else they are great. Will retry with BTGuard when I get home. I know that they do.Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
