Magnetic links not using the proxy

[Zydox]

qBittorrent version and Operating System:

v3.3.13 on windows home server 2011

What is the problem:

It seems like all the files I've downloaded with magnetic links doesn't use my proxy settings but instead are downloaded with my real IP.

As the tracker I'm mainly using doesn't allow v3.3.14 yet I can't verify if this has been resolved in that version...

Best regards,
Zydox

Magnet links use DHT or trackers to find peers/seeds.
udp trackers and DHT both use UDP packets which many proxies do not support...and so may end up transmitting without using the proxy.

But if the "Disable connections not supported by proxies" is checked, I would assume those just remain unconnected, not that they switch over to a direct connection?

Good to clarify that, because that's one of the many qBitTorrent/libtorrent bugs associated with VPN and proxy traffic.

Closing this as this was reported on a very old version. If you can still reproduce it with latest version please comment to re-open the thread or create a new thread.
