Thread: How-To: Use proxy apps for semi-anonymous torrenting!

i'll make a pic in how to set-up azureus to use this method when i get home...

And we use proxy so that our IP is shown as anonymous. so it will be hard for the Govern to track us. is it right. I know it is a silly question

we could say so. there's no way to know whether the government is behind these free proxy services... anyway at least should you get in trouble because of filesharing, you were going to get caught anyway :\ this makes you a little harder to get caught because they'd expect announces to be coming from your computer and not their proxies

when it comes to people/organizations that by law can't view the proxy's logs, i'd dare to say you're completely safe and announces travel encrypted through the HTTPS protocol...

@Options: questions answered in the original post.

Azureus Settings

• For Ultrasurf:
  
  • Open it.
  • Open Azureus.
  • Go to Tools -> Options -> Connection (in the left panel) -> Proxy Options, and set up the "Tracker Communications" settings like this:
    
    (i.e. host: localhost, port 9666, no username, no password)
  • Press Save, and restart Azureus.
  
  
• For Freegate:
  
  • Open it.
  • Open Azureus.
  • Go to Tools -> Options -> Connection (in the left panel) -> Proxy Options, and set up the "Tracker Communications" settings like this:
    
    (i.e. host: localhost, port 8580, no username, no password)
  • Press Save, and restart Azureus.

Note: don't touch anything in the "Peer Communications" section, leave it like this!



You may want to untick "Check proxy status on startup" if you're only going to use your client with this method, and don't want it to fallback to sending non-anonymous announces should you forget to run the proxy application before the client...

no, it's not necessary. you can use your normal azureus installation. uT has such a small footprint that i thought it would not harm to spend less than 300kb in making a separate "proxified" client, but if you don't want or need to do so, you can use your normal uTorrent installation too.

@ corecore: thank you

thanks for the heads-up.

did you get a timeout then, or what? please check if ultrasurf works on RevTT...

on torrentbytes i gert an http error: Tracker status: http reply 404

yep, sounds like an error with the proxy app... maybe the server you were connected to was having problems or blocked TB.

haven't tried it yet, but i don't know why it shouldn't work...
but i can give it a try with ultrasurf if you want.

please then when updating the working tracker list i can specify it doesn't work with freegate and/or you can only use this method with the Ultrasurf program...

(i think DNS resolution is done proxy-side, but just in case run ipconfig /flushdns ... )
