if your isp throttles your traffic you can enable bt encryption and that should help. In BitTorrent go to settings bittorrent and change the box that says disabled to enabled.

I tried it with my Comcast connection and uTorrent.
It doesn’t work.
Tried tweaking the settings on uTorrent; either no up/download at all, or same throttle problem on the browser.
When uTorrent is running, within 5 minutes the browser slows to a crawl.
Never happened before I switched to Comcast.

When I configured uTorrent, I had to check the box for Using proxy server for peer-to-peer connections to get it to work.

You should not use SSH tunnels to convey P2P traffic, especially public SSH servers…

How do you get the password after signing up at silenceisdefeat?

I should also point out I do NOT use a free shell account. I have a linkstation live on my home network, you can add an ssh server to that in minutes and I connect tunellier from my work network to that, then use that as my jumping off point. So, no public ssh abuse.

By: Banshee

Banshee — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:15:34 +0000

another option is to use tunellier (http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier) an unbelievably useful bit of FREE software. It sets up a secure tunnel as demonstrated above with putty. But then allows you to setup any number of port forwarding requests, as well as acting as a proxy for web browsing. We have a VERY knobbled network at work and using this I completely bypass their firewall for everything from torrent to usenet to private mail (port 25 wide open!). I even have firefox setup to use the builtin web proxy option so as far as their logs are converned, all my web browsing is totally legit (through IE) and all my *cough* other browsing goes encrypted through firefox. Tunellier is also a portable app, so I run it from my usb along with firefox so there is not trace on my PC at all. I’m using it to right this, in fact!!

The article is good. But you can use SSH even without a shell account. In windows you have a port “443″. Its SSH port. Try it.

tx for the post but I tried it and it was crap.My uTorrent is usually capable of achieving 500kbps but my highest using SSH was 3kbps.

Make this on your own dedicated servers *NOT ON FREE-PROVIDED SHELLS*. Damn. Stop being a dumbass. That small free shells for things like mail, irc etc… *Not for SSH tunneling*.

If you want more information about Relakks (exept from the homepage “www.relakks.com”):

Jonas Birgersson, the founder of Relakks, is intervjued by Thomas Crampton. Birgersson talks about Relakks and why he thinks it is needed. It’s a good and interesting interview!

i don’t get it. i run a packet capture and none of the bit torrent traffic is going to the silenceisdefeat server. its going over TCP to the peers directly, which means my isp can see it. and i also see bit torrent handshakes in plain. looks like this is useless. anyone have any other ideas?

My fear is that the company will still be able to see that there is an in-ordinate amount of traffic through my machine, even if they don’t see exactly what it is.. and then the hammer will fall. any tips?

It does work, and I’ve avoided the problem of others by renting a VPS (virtual private server) with 300GB of bandwidth monthly, and setting up my own SSH account. All you need is a bit of patience, a bit of Linux experience and, if at all possible, Virtuozzo Control Panel helps for first timers.

1-Go to a VPS provider, register a domain name (generally cheap). Make sure you have full root access.
2-Generally they will ask you to choose a password for root… make sure to write it down.
3-THIS IS NOT SUGGESTED, but you could use the username “root” and the password in putty as is. However you’ll want to setup passkey protection, to avoid people from trying to hack your server. With virtuozzo control pannel you can create a user….

Lookup openSSH, and the SSHD configuration for more info.

The beauty of this is you can use it as an FTP server, BT server… the possibilities are virtually endless. It’ll set you back as little as 8 dollars a month… and I didn’t know bugger all when I started, you won’t either, so you have to be willing to “waste” the money, if you can’t figure it out.

Does anyone know how to block certain satellite ISP’s from seeing the amount of data that has been downloaded or uploaded?
For instance Wild Blue only lets me download 15 GB and upload only 5 GB per 30 day cycle.
Very shabby for todays torrent standards.
If you exceed the alloted amount they completely stop your connection or make it go barely faster than dial up.
Any direction would be appreciated as I tend to miss the variety torrents have to offer. But believe you me I WILL STILL continue to obtain my cheap media regardless. Anyone that’s pissed off about that can suck a rotten egg.

Is it possible to forward multiple p2p ports using this method?

For instance, I need to open up

2300 to 2400…47624..6073

all udp/tcpip

In order to play this game here @ school.

Will this work? Do i need to manually add all of the ports (2300-2400)?

Also doesn’t help the poor suckers with unfair usage caps. Ok I admit the ISPs do have some reasons for having caps here in Australia but still doesn’t make them particularly far when you hit your quota within a day.
