**Hello 1Hackers** 😊 1. Open your uTorrent client. ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/15/BtaHWlY3aK.png) 1. Click **Options** and select **Preferences**. ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/2/2.png) 1. In the left sidebar menu of the pop-up window, click **Connection**. ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/3/3.png) 1. Under the Proxy Server section, choose **Socks5** in the Type dropdown menu. ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/12/4%20_2_.png) 1. In the **Proxy** field, enter the address from the list below: ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/11/5%20_1_.png) 1. In the **Port** field, type **1080** and make sure you check all the boxes: - Authentication; - Use proxy for hostname lookups; - Use proxy for peer-to-peer connections; - Disable all local DNS lookups; - Disable features that leak identifying information; - Disable connections unsupported by the proxy. ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/10/6.png) 1. Enter your NordVPN service username and password in the authentication fields and press **OK**. You can find your NordVPN service credentials in the Nord Account [dashboard](https://my.nordaccount.com/dashboard/nordvpn/). Copy the logins using the Copy buttons next to the credentials. ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/16/gdWAxjdVXb.png) ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/9/7.png) Congratulations! You have just set up Socks5 for uTorrent. To check if it works, here is what you have to do: 1. Go to [this website](https://ipleak.net/). 2. Scroll down to **Torrent Address detection** , press **Activate** , and click on **this Magnet link**. ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/13/tqeosRYU39.png) 1. A new window will pop up. Choose **uTorrent** and press **OK**. Important: Do not close the _IP Leak_ website. ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/7/10.png) 1. uTorrent will open automatically and the Magnet Tracking Link will start synchronizing. 2. While the file is connecting to peer, return to the _IP Leak_ website. A new IP address, the one that you chose, will appear. ![](https://nordvpn.nanorep.co/storage/nr1/kb/3E6DB546/3E6DB64A/3E6E382C/14/HQRCt5EBql.png) This is the VPN IP address of a NordVPN server, which means that uTorrent is downloading files through a NordVPN proxy, ensuring that your downloads are hidden and secured. `Source: NordVPN Support` ## HAPPY LEARNING! ❤ ---

Another way to avoid DMCA would be using privacy friendly paid VPN like IVPN, Mullvad . It will do the work as well same results. ---

Remember, VPN may change the entire location while you’re working & don’t want to change it, so this setup may only let your torrent system run anonymously. Good luck! > [@star\_gater](#): > > this work with qbittorent as well? Check your Inbox, shortly 👍
