How to use Greedy Torrent + VPN

VPN
1

I used to use Greedy Torrent to fake ratio to some sites. Greedy is a proxy that runs on 127.0.0.1:3456 to which your torrent client connects, and that modifies the DL/UL info.

Greedy Torrent doesn’t work when the VPN (HMA in my case) is on: uTorrent gets the list of peers and seeds, but cannot connect to any client.

Any clue? Thanks

It should work. I tried using Greedy Torrent while using VPN and I got my file got downloaded. I haven’t used HMA anytime, but I tried using Ivacy VPN, and my file got downloaded using Greedy Torrent(faked ratio successfully while using VPN. May be try using a different client. I use Ivacy VPN, Greedy torrent latest version and latest version of bit torrent(not u torrent), and my IP is still anonymized when I tried using a test torrent file → http://checkmytorrentip.net/torrentip/checkMyTorrentIp.png.torrent
While downloading this torrent using torrent using your torrent client and Greedy torrent, check under the “tracker” tab, where in the 4th line it will display your IP address your torrent client is connected to, even though you have used proxy as 127.0.0.1 and port 3456(or any random unused port). NOTE: my torrent client fails to work, if I dont open Greedy torrent while using VPN, but works with VPN set to OFF and without Greedy torrent. Even if somehow this fails, then too there are certain workarounds to stay anonymous both using VPN + Greedy torrent. Following are the ways:

  1. Use torrents on a VM, while your VPN is on in the real machine. Generally Windows say that proxy setting are not supported by them, while using a Dial Up or a VPN. But inside the VM you are not using any Dial Up or VPN, the VM straighaway gets/gets bridged a network connection after filtering through a VPN, hence this method will guarantee provide you full anonymity along with faking ratio using Greedy torrent.

2)Set up VPN settings on your router, if it supports(not all routers support fully fledged VPN, even though most of them have port forwarding settings, else search about setting up of all protocols type of VPN with your particular model of router in different forums)

3)If you own an android device(a rooted device is needed) and if you have your VPN id and password, then switch on VPN in your device, just use it as a wifi hotspot and get your laptop connected. There will be no active Dial-Up/VPN profiles in your PC, and hence this method too will definitely work and provide you double anonymity(both via VPN and the Private torrent using Greedy Torrent). If using a public torrent, then you dont need to maintain ratio, and can directly use it without Greedy Torrent and with active Dial Up/VPN on your system.
However tethering an android will not work while using VPN on android, hence you need to get your android rooted, install “Terminal” app and execute the following codes in android to work:

Hope that helps
