| What is a proxy? A proxy or proxy server is basically another computer which serves as a hub through which internet requests are processed. By connecting through one of these servers, your computer sends your requests to the proxy server which then processes your request and returns what you were wanting. In this way it serves as an intermediary between your home machine and the rest of the computers on the internet. Proxies provide anonymity when uploading and downloading. By connecting to the internet through proxies, the home IP address of your machine will not be shown but rather the IP of the proxy server will be shown. This tutorial will help you set up a proxy with: The proxy I am using as an example is from Private Internet Access. How to set up a proxy with uTorrent Step 1: Open uTorrent and go to "Options".  Step 2: Click on "Preferences".  Step 3: A screen with options will open. Go to "Connection".  Step 4: Set up the Proxy:  Choose Proxy Server "Socks5" from the drop-down list. Fill in the name of the proxy provided by your Proxy provider. Change the port to 1080 or 1085 or 1090. Put a check in front of "Authentication" so you can fill in your username and password provided by your Proxy provider. Fill in your username and password. Check "Use proxy for hostname Lookups", "Use proxy for peer-to-peer connections" and check everything under "Proxy Privacy". Click on apply. Step 5: Restart your uTorrent to start using the proxy. Explanation of the checked options Authentication This option indicates that you need to log into the proxy server in order for it to work. The Username field is where you enter the username required to log into the proxy server for authentication. The Password field is where you enter the password required to log into the proxy server for authentication. Use proxy for hostname lookups This option forces µTorrent to perform hostname (DNS) lookups through the proxy. Reverse DNS is not proxied. Use proxy for peer-to-peer connections This forces µTorrent to communicate and transfer data with peers through the proxy. By default, this option is disabled, and µTorrent only uses the proxy to communicate with trackers. This option may not work with some HTTP proxies (not all HTTP proxies support HTTP CONNECT). Note: µTorrent can only proxy UDP-based communication through SOCKS5 proxies. Proxying of IPv6 traffic is currently not supported. By default, connection types that your proxy does not support will simply connect as normal. Disable all local DNS lookups This option will disable reverse DNS and prevent hostname lookups from bypassing the proxy. This will not function properly without enabling "Use proxy for hostname lookups." If your proxy is misconfigured or not working, then DNS will simply fail. As a safeguard, µTorrent's autoupdates and crash reports will bypass this option. Disable features that leak identifying information This option will prevent µTorrent from sharing your non-proxied IP through handshakes with other peers, as well as through DHT. It will also prevent it from handing out your IPv6 address to IPv4 peers and vice versa. Disable connections unsupported by the proxy This option will disable connection types that your proxy type cannot handle. For HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS4 proxies, this will disable all UDP-based communication (DHT, uTP, UDP trackers, IPv6). For SOCKS5, it will only disable IPv6, as IPv6 is currently not proxied. If your proxy is misconfigured or not working, all traffic in the client will stop. How to set up a proxy with Vuze Step 1: Open Vuze and go to "Tools". Then choose "Options".  Step 2: A screen with options will open. In the "Mode" tab make sure the User Proficiency is set to Advanced.  Step 3: Go to "Connection". If you are planning to use Socks5 proxy for privacy purposes then you have to disable features that would otherwise allow your public IP address to leak and for other peers to connect directly to you. In the Peer Sources section deselect everything apart from the first one From a tracker.  Step 4: Double click on "Connections" to expand the menu. Now choose "Proxy".  Step 5: In the Tracker Communications section check the following boxes: Enable proxying of tracker communications [restart required] and I have a SOCKS proxy. For Host enter the VPN server address from your Proxy provider, which allows P2P traffic. For Port enter 1080. Type in your Username and Password in the authentication fields and press Test SOCKS.  Step 6: Check if the test was successful and close the screen.  Step 9: Restart your Vuze.  Step 9: Check if your Socks indicator is green to see if the proxy is working.  How to set up a proxy with qBitTorrent Step 1: Open qBitTorrent and go to "Tools". Then choose "Options".  Step 2: A screen with options will open. Go to "Connection".  Step 3: Disable "UPnP / NAT -PMP port forwarding from my router" and set port to 1080. Set up the proxy:  Choose Proxy Server "Socks5" from the drop-down list. Fill in the name of the proxy provided by your Proxy provider. Change the port to 1080 or 1085 or 1090. Put a check in front of "Authentication" so you can fill in your username and password provided by your Proxy provider. Fill in your username and password. Check "Use proxy for peer connections", "Disable connections not supported by proxy" and "Use Proxy only for torrents". Click on apply. Step 5: Restart your qBitTorrent to start using the proxy. Explanation of the checked options Authentication This option indicates that you need to log into the proxy server in order for it to work. The Username field is where you enter the username required to log into the proxy server for authentication. The Password field is where you enter the password required to log into the proxy server for authentication. Use proxy for peer connections This forces qBitTorrent to communicate and transfer data with peers through the proxy. qBitTorrent only uses the proxy to communicate with trackers. This option may not work with some HTTP proxies (not all HTTP proxies support HTTP CONNECT). Note: qBitTorrent can only proxy UDP-based communication through SOCKS5 proxies. Connection types that your proxy does not support will simply connect as normal. Disable connections not supported by proxy This option will disable any unprotected connections. If your proxy is misconfigured or not working, then the connection will be cut. Use proxy only for torrents This option controls if other codes (not libtorrent related) will use the proxy too. Like search, rss, update, etc. How to set up a proxy with BitTorrent Step 1: Open BitTorrent and go to "Options" .  Step 2: Click on "Preferences".  Step 3: A screen with options will open. Go to "Connection".  Step 4: Set up the Proxy:  Choose Proxy Server "Socks5" from the drop-down list. Fill in the name of the proxy provided by your Proxy provider. Change the port to 1080 or 1085 or 1090. Put a check in front of "Authentication" so you can fill in your username and password provided by your Proxy provider. Fill in your username and password. Check "Use proxy for hostname Lookups", "Use proxy for peer-to-peer connections" and check everything under "Proxy Privacy". Click on apply. Step 5: Restart your BitTorrent to start using the proxy. Explanation of the checked options Authentication This option indicates that you need to log into the proxy server in order for it to work. The Username field is where you enter the username required to log into the proxy server for authentication. The Password field is where you enter the password required to log into the proxy server for authentication.

If your proxy is misconfigured or not working, all traffic in the client will stop. How to set up a proxy with Deluge Step 1: Open Deluge and go to "Edit". Then choose "Preferences".  Step 2: A screen with options will open.  Step 3: Go to "Proxy". Deluge requires you to manually configure the proxy settings for each service individually. You can use the exact same proxy settings for each, but you have to enter them 1 by 1.  For all services configure the following settings: Type: SocksV5 w/ Auth (allows you to enter username/password) Username/Password: Your login credentials. Provided by your proxy service or generated from your VPN account panel (PIA & IPVanish). Host: Proxy address your provider uses. For PIA this is proxy-nl.privateinternetaccess.com. Port: The port # your proxy uses. Most use the default port of 1080. Step 4: Enable Deluge's built-in encryption to prevent IP-leaks. Go to the Preferences and choose Network.  Step 5: Change your settings to match these: Fully encrypted mode This is the safest mode (and will help prevent torrent throttling) but you will only be able to download from a small % of total peers. Inbound: Forced Outbound: Forced Encryption Level: Full Stream Encrypt Entire Stream: Checked  Optional encrypted mode This mode will use the strongest available encryption option. You will have access to all peers, but not all connections will be encrypted. Inbound: Enabled Outbound: Enabled Encryption Level: Either Encrypt Entire Stream: Checked  Last edited by Angelina on 2018-07-08 20:47:39 | |

| Proxy versus VPN Proxies and VPN have one thing in common: they both make you appear to be connecting to the internet from another location then where you really are. But they are fundamentally different and also differ in the protection they offer.  Proxy server Important to know is that a proxy server is a computer that acts as a mediator between your computer and the internet. Network traffic flows from your computer to the proxy server, and then from the proxy server to the internet. That means to outsiders, it looks like your computers IP address is really the proxy’s IP address. Proxy servers usually don’t encrypt the network traffic it handles so it can accept connections from thousands of users at once. It is usually faster than a VPN connection, but your ISP and government agencies can see what you are doing. Using a proxy on your torrent client means that only your traffic through the torrent client is using the proxy connection. When you browse the internet you are not protected in any way by the proxy. | |
