tor/privoxy configuration w/ azureus?
    #5368703 - 03/05/06 09:28 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I am wondering if someone could help me with the configuration between tor/privoxy and azureus? I went to: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/doc/AnonBT/Tor/howto_0.5.htm but had trouble understanding what to do. can anyone help by breaking it down step by step?

On another note, this set up compared to chaining ip's, which one holds up more secure travel? Chaining seems like it takes more time and up keep, everytime I tried to manuever between pages I would get "timed out signals" and/or error prompts. tor/privoxy seems to be more fluid and less headache.

Do you want to proxy the communication between yourself and the tracker, or between yourself and your peers?

Usually, it is only possible to use a proxy for communications between your client and the tracker (as in, the tracker run by the website that the torrent is hosted on). Proxying all your bittorrent traffic is not feasible unless you lease your own private proxy server, or have access to an extremely high-speed proxy that no-one else has access to. Proxy servers generally only have a few ports open, and have very little bandwidth because they have so many users. Also, most TOR nodes have "exit policies" which prevent using TOR for bittorrent proxying. If it was possible to use TOR for bittorrent, there would be almost no-bandwidth to share between users.

Personally, I see little point in proxying tracker communication when using bittorrent - tracker IP logs are not good evidence to sue someone over copyright infringement, it would be much easier to simply connect to the torrent and log traffic to and from your IP.
