My vpn turned off when downloading torrent

Answer (1 of 4): “Given that the VPN doesn’t register logs”. That’s a fallacy. All VPNs must register some form of log, it is a basic requirement of how VPN works. It has to “remember” your connection at least while you are in fact connected - else it would disconnect you immediately. The best. When I try to download a torrent with my VPN on, nothing happens w the torrent. The seeds decline down to zero as does the peers and nothing downloads. But if I turn the VPN off the torrent picks up seeds and peers and starts downloading normally. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate help. 11 comments. share. save. So Im new to pirate bay and just found it last night. Just downloading something and i accidentally turned off my vpn for 8 seconds. So i live in a country where no one gives a shit about piracy.

The problem is that sometimes I lose connection to my VPN service, and then my torrent client exposes my IP address to the rest of the world. This is a big problem because I wish to remain anonymous when torrenting. similar question. I download with a seedbox, stop torrenting when I hit ratio, transfer with filezilla to computer with vpn on, once transfer is done, turn off vpn, and I use plex from home pc, but I have to keep vpn off to access from outside my network. When using torrents, it's better to protect your privacy with a VPN. If your VPN disconnects or your computer restarts, you want to be sure that your torrent client will not leak your real IP onto the internet. Using Vuze and a P2P friendly torrent provider, this protection can be set up in minutes.

You can bypass torrent blocking by simply switching to a different port. Set your port manually to either 80 or You will have to deactivate UPnP and NAT PMP. However, this bypass torrent blocking method will introduce slow download speeds. After torrent download is finished Its better that you disconnect the computer from Internet because when you have finished downloading and are off VPN the bittorrent program can still transmit packets announcing that your (ISP) IP has the torrent file available for uploading. Connect to your VPN. Note the IP address. You need the IP address that comes from your VPN provider. Start Vuze, and enter the Options menu. Select "Tools" at the top. Select "Options" at the bottom of the menu. Select the "Advanced Mode" options. At the top left of the options Menu, make sure "Mode" is selected.
