I got a Socks5 error while i was downloading a torrent on vuze. I was using a VPN at the same time. Will the vpn protect me from risk and exposure despite the socks5 proxy failing. The Socks5 icon went from green to yellow at the bottom of vuze however the routing icon sayed green throughout. Sorry im new to this. Thank you answers appreciated.

Hi! Maybe I'm getting rusty (probably ;p heh~)... but I please need some help with setting up port forwarding to Vuze, using a new Airport Extreme via a Mac (VPN/socks). For whatever reason, Vuze says that the routing is good, NAT is good but the connection is firewalled (could it be my ISP???). So here's my setup:... Mac: Connecting to VPN using L2PT in the Network control pane. PPP is setup to a manual-static, local IP address (was automatic before - behind NAT - both work). Proxies configured (with authentication): Web: port 6060 Secure web: 993 FTP: 443??? Socks: 1085 Vuze: Incoming TCP listen port: 6881 Incoming UDP listen port: 6881 Socks proxy port: 1085 HTTP seeding port: 6060 Airport Extreme: Network - Port settings: Public UDP ports: 6881 Public TCP ports: 6881 Private IP address: to manual-static, local IP address on Mac Private UDP ports: 6881 Private TCP ports: 6881 So... what am I doing wrong here xD ;p ???... something has to be off ;o . I used to be able to work this out a-ok ages ago on Transmission, but times have changed and have become more complex ;p . Also, I apologize if this question falls under what may be the wrong forum topic, but this could fall under several ;o ... so this one seems like the best of all ;p heh... Anyways, thank you so much in advance for any of your help - anywhere - anytime ^^ !!!~

Hi, I'm trying to configure Vuze (without proxy) but I am getting firewalled. After some testing it seems that the firewall is at the exit point, i.e. outside my control. How can I enable Vuze ? Many thanks. Regards.
