> There are many reasons to want to remain anonymous on the internet generally and using Bit Torrent in particular. You don't need anonymity if you have the copyright holder's permission to download. > But I take it those who want to monitor IPs in a swarm can simply copy all the IPs in the swarm. Not all trackers provide web-viewable peerlists. It is not always possible to see your own IP (or what your own IP would be) in a swarm. I am unaware of the capacity of the Tor network but it is not my intention to damage it / slow it down? Can I take it this is a capacity issue? This is before you take the encryption used into consideration. > How could they track back? I appriciate that you are saying that the fact there is a persistent stream open prevents Tor from dynamically switching routes, but wouldn't an attacker still only see the last IP in the Tor chain rather than my IP?Īdditionally, you will be (and currently are) interfering with other tor users by running a p2p application over tor.Įach byte you measure as transferred in tor is translated out to four bytes actually transmitted. This allows an attacker to trace the data back to you. Surely anyone monitoring the swarm IPs would only see the last IP emerging from the Tor network?Įach connection keeps a persistent stream open, and cannot currently be dynamically changed within the tor network. If I'm incorrect about this, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone would let me know, and tell me where my reasoning has failed.īy using tor, your peer entry will be PERMANENTLY set in a firewalled state. It seems to me that in order to achieve anonymity with Bittorrent using Tor, you need to send your peer data through the Tor network. When I send a request to the tracker through Tor, is my true IP registered with the tracking server, or is my torified IP registered? If my torified IP is registered, how can my peers upload data from me? If my true IP is registered, then, as my true IP will be visible to all my peers, how does that anonmize my activities at all? However, I'm having trouble understanding how sending my tracking data through Tor will allow me to achieve this.
If Tor is not censored, one of the most common reasons Tor won't connect is an incorrect system clock. Select 'Tor Network Settings' and 'Use a bridge'. By anonymity, I mean that my true IP address will be obfuscated from my peers. If you are in a country where Tor is blocked, you can configure Tor to connect to a bridge during the setup process. I've also heard that sending my tracking communications through Tor will allow me a degree of anonymity. I know that there are essentially two types of communications that bittorrent uses: tracking and peer. My next question is more general, and is about anonymizing bittorrent traffic using onion routing. First, does µTorrent support sending tracking data through a proxy? So will it work natively with Tor?
