Hi, a few months ago i saw an advertising here on FST about a proxy service to use torrents through.
I have searched but i am unable to find it, does anyone know of the service im talking about or of another service that is the same.:D

Is this what you're looking for?

Well, I only know of Ipredator made by the same crew of TPB.

Just be sure to check that the trackers you plan to use it with allow something like this.
Edit: Anon, ya beat me by a minute. XD
Isn't iPredator a VPN service? VPN != proxy, unless all the thread starter wants is hiding his IP. :happy:
I assumed he wants to hide IP. Plus, vpn > proxy in speed, which I would assume is also important, no?Quote:

Wouldn't that limit the scope? So no "Connectable"? lolQuote:

You hide your real IP. This is very nice for security reasons, but trackers don't like proxies because of that same thing - for them, hiding your IP means you've had an account in the past.Quote:

PeerGuardian is nice, but not 100% perfect - don't overrely on it. A VPN is a lot better since your real IP is not seen at all, but you must pay for the good providers.Quote:

I don't know - fortunately I've never had to pay to enhance my P2P security :lol:Quote:
