EthernetHub Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 My friend just went away to college and has been thus far a little too scared to use uTorrent to download anything.Before he can use the school's internet he must login with his school ID and password, a scan then runs that checks that he has McAfee installed (what a punishment!), that his Windows is up to date, that he has java, that his browser is up to date, and that he doesn't have any filesharing programs installed (easily fixed by installing uTorrent to a USB drive). I'm wondering if using a proxy server would prevent the network admins from being able to track the p2p traffic back to his IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Wow, your friend's school looks like a prison, it's freaky.He could try a cheap VPN service at 5$/m (PPTP VPN allowing p2p). If that fails, likely he will not be able to use any p2p applications (in addition I doubt the TOS of his college network allow p2p). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
