You are protected as expected. If any issue does appear, however, it is best not to torrent until things have been resolved. Simply checking that you have no IPv4 leaks, as described above, is sufficient to show that your VPN is working properly for torrenting.
If you have a stricter threat model, however, then you can double-check specifically for torrenting using the ipMagnet tool. Visit the ipMagnet web page and click on the Magnet Link to open a dummy torrent download in your BitTorrent client. A few seconds later, you should see the IP address trying to download the dummy torrent file on the ipMagnet web page. There are too many variables in play when it comes to torrent download speeds to isolate the effect using a VPN has on them.
The most important of these are:. How many peers are seeding the torrent you are downloading. The more sources you have, the faster your download speeds will be. Most torrent websites clearly show these figures. How much upload bandwidth you have and are allowing the BitTorrent client to use.
The BitTorrent protocol is designed to encourage sharing by rewarding those who share more with higher download speeds. All BitTorrent clients allow you to specify how much upload bandwidth they can use for seeding, although this is limited by whatever plan you have purchased with your ISP. A VPN that uses a NAT firewall may restrict incoming connections, which reduces the number of peers you have, and therefore limits your upload speeds. This is why you might want to consider using port forwarding if your VPN uses a NAT firewall and supports the feature.
Start your BitTorrent client. We suggest performing this test when only legal torrents are running. Check your BitTorrent client. Binding your BitTorrent client to the VPN interface acts as a client-only kill switch, preventing it from downloading and uploading torrents unless the VPN connection is active. Make a note of the connection name eth6 in the example shown below.
Go to the top of the list and enter the interface name in the Bind to localIPaddressorinterface dialog box. Head down to the bottom of the list and check Enforce IP bindings even when interfaces are not available.
A little routing icon at the bottom of the Vuze client should now show green to let you know everything is working correctly. If you disconnect from your VPN, the icon will turn red and all torrent downloads will come to a stop. Looking for something? Written by Douglas Crawford. Want to torrent on another device?
