Protect your privacy in the download time

How can you track down through BitTorrent?

When you download a faylv through BitTorrent, your computer connects to the sources, the so-called peers, with whom you share IP-addresses. Some organizations may join the downloading and use the contact information to, to instance, complain to your ISP that you download material protected by copyright law.

There are several methods to protect against this - but above all, you need to install a protective layer between you and those who can to hunt you down.

Keep Anti-P2P-trackers away from your torrents via PeerGuardian2

During boot you set all the settings of the program, including a can download some existing black lists in addition, that is the default. You must update the program regularly to keep blacklists timely replenished.

Hide from the Anti-P2P-trackers using a proxy server

The best solution to Internet security problems - it is certainly a proxy server. When you use a BitTorrent-type exchangers, they are redirected to the information coming from your computer through other servers, and other computers can only see the IP of the server, not yours.

There are many of these, including the very famous The Onion Router network (Tor). However, this server significantly reduces the download speed. In BitTorrent has its own proxy server - BTGuardWhich does not reduce the speed, and provides complete privacy when downloading files, but it is paid (about $ 7 per month).

PeerGuardian2 free and also does not reduce the rate, but is very sensitive to material integrity and requires constant updating of blacklists, as well as other IP-blockers.

To set a proxy in uTorrent, you need to go to the "Settings", click on the button "Connect" on the panel and go to the tab "Proxy". Select the type of proxy server (Socks4 / 5, HTTP or the HTTPS), enter the address and port of the personal information (login, password, etc.). Do not forget to put a tick in the box "Use a proxy server in P2P networks, connections."
