Even with using a Socks or SSH proxy server the DHT Network will still be a problem if the DHT Network is enabled, so you want to disable it, other wise as far as I understand the traffic from and to the tracker will go through the proxy but the traffic from and to the DHT Network will not go through the proxy but the DHT Network will make a direct connection, (which would leak someone's own IP Address to the DHT Network) even while using a proxy, so if you are using a proxy server then make sure to:
"Disable" the each of the following:
The DHT Network
Local Peer Discovery
E Peer Exchange
Limit Local Peer Bandwidth
And also always for Protocol Encryption select:
'Forced'
And do 'Not' check the box 'Allow Incoming Legacy Connections'
The Socks protocol does not include it's own encryption, so it is vital to have the Protocol Encryption set to the settings above
I even keep the Protocol Encryption Settings this way when using a proxy with SSH Protocol instead of a Socks proxy, and it does not create any problems with the SSH connection to leave the Protocol Encryption settings that way
All and all my favorite proxy protocol for a BT client is Socks5, SSH is sometimes alright for a BT client but the connection will sometimes drop, with SSH you have to use a second party app like Putty, although the SSH protocol is my favorite by far for anonymizing the web browser
I know that PPTP proxy server protocol and Open PPTP proxy server protocol anonymize all of the internet traffic of the computer but I don't really like PPTP and Open PPTP
I know that internet security is very important to get right, and that is why I mention certain things more then once, and if I am wrong with any of this then anyone should go ahead and reply with corrections and also suggestions
