Hi, could someone just confirm this for me.
If I put a valid Socks5 proxy IP and port number into my torrent client then the people i connect to will only see the IP address of the socks5 proxy server in their torrent client peer list.
is the above correct?
Correct, assuming you have the setting "Use Proxy for P2P Connections" checked if it's available.
Note that tracker scrapes use UDP and thus don't go through the proxy, or so I've been told. Not really a security issue, just a heads up for those that are super paranoid :)
You can double check using this site:
http://checkmytorrentip.com/
Also, the proxy doesn't apply for incoming connections - but since both the tracker and peers will see its IP, there should be no way they can know your real address (except maybe the thingy ca_aok mentioned).
Well you can always turn scraping off (or at least you can in uTorrent). It's the tracker that would theoretically see your IP on a scrape, the peerlist would still see your proxy IP. And since the biggest risk is having your IP recorded by one of the anti-p2p folks rather than having a site taken down and examined, it's a moot point.

Can you disable the scrapes some how for public sites?
If you're using uTorrent, Options -> Preferences -> BitTorrent -> untick "ask tracker for scrape information".Quote:

I don't think so... both DHT and PEX use UDP.Quote:

In my country you don't even have to take that "precaution" - you see the cops talking to pirated DVD sellers in the streets :ermm:Quote:
