PIA proxy vs trackers

[bathrobehero]

Hi, I'm big fan but I have a problem. I started using PrivateInternetAccess proxy and most of the time I cannot connect to any of the trackers. Maybe there are too many connections from those VPN IP addresses (109.201.15x.xxx) to the trackers so we're getting cut off maybe because of a limitation? I don't know, but PIA can't seem to help us.

Trackers:
udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80
udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80
udp://tracker.istole.it:6969
udp://tracker.ccc.de:80
udp://open.demonii.com:1337

Problem: Connection timed out.


Keep it up!

Does DHT work through the proxy? It would appear the proxy doesn't support UDP.

It appears that it's stucks at the "waiting for announce" stage, though I don't know if it's the same when it's (rarely) connects to the trackers.

Unfortunately, it does appear that the proxy isn't passing UDP.

I don't have experience with the PIA proxy, so I can't say if it is a configuration issue or if the proxy just doesn't support UDP connections.

First of all, thanks for the replies.

I restarted the torrent client a couple of times and now it's working, DHT too.

Also, I noticed with checkmytorrentip that my VPN IP is changing every couple of seconds.

I'm new to VPN's, so I guess have to read up on them.
