Just a question!
If I install webtorrent on an external server and add a web interface (with express js for example), what I call this page to stream a torrent, what IP address will be injected in the list of peers?

  • The ip address of the server (where to install webtorrent)
    or
  • The ip address of the web browser that streamed the torrent?

In all logic, it is the browser that leech so it is him who shows his ip. no?

Depends where you run the WebTorrent client. If you run it in the browser, the browser's IP, else the server's IP.
