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.

Just be sure to check that the trackers you plan to use it with allow something like this.

Isn't iPredator a VPN service? VPN != proxy, unless all the thread starter wants is hiding his IP.

I assumed he wants to hide IP. Plus, vpn > proxy in speed, which I would assume is also important, no?Originally Posted by anon-sbi

Depends on the service - if both have fast lines, it's the sameAlso, with a proxy you have the advantage of choosing which apps you want to tunnel, instead of all your network traffic. The proxy can't take incoming connections for you, though.
I once used the BTGuard trial and maxed out the 2Mbit I had at the time. No idea of how it is now.

Wouldn't that limit the scope? So no "Connectable"? lolThe proxy can't take incoming connections for you, though.

Yes, you're right.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
I never used a proxy, what are the advantages of using one. Is it a safer way of using bt, I know its not allowed on some sites, but is it banned from all site.

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.
Most are OK with VPNs, but if in doubt, ask their staff first.
Not all sites.but is it banned from all site.
