By Dewdman42 , April 10, in General. Unfortunately it will occasionally change which port is assigned to me in a random manner. Each time this happens I have to go to utorrent GUI and manually change the incoming port parameter to the new value. Is there any way to dynamically change the incoming port value in utorrent that could be done programmatically so that I can script something that may detect this change from the VPN and then update utorrent's configuration automatically?
Ideally without having to restart utorrent either, running final torrent 2. I also faced the same issue, the VPN provider made some changes on their end and this fixed the issue. Then that is what you have to do every time when they change they probably do this to protect their system so there hacking isn't possible with the IP constantly changing. Another thing I'm considering is setting up an stunnel port on this computer which could theoretically let me automate it that way.
Windows has nothing to do with utorrent software itself those are two different software. Unless utorrent takes over that VPN company and integrates with utorrent syncing that is the only way-which is highly unlikely here.
I was talking about stunnel when I mentioned windows. As a peer-to-peer protocol, peers outside your network need to connect in. A firewall could prohibit incoming connections to your user subnet, while permitting them to your intended outward-facing services. An IPS could put a threshold on the number of incoming and outgoing connections, since Bittorrent clients need to connect to multiple peers and have multiple peers connect to them in order to function.
If your concern is the legality of the shared content or if you plan on taking any action against your users , then your best defense is a well-written acceptable-use policy outlining the users' responsibility for their actions and forbidding the use of file-sharing software. Bad news : you probably don't know torrent proxies that runs on port 80? They allow users to redirect their torrent traffic to the regular port 80, so you won't be able to do anything with ports.
Alternative : you could search for a list of popular torrent trackers and ban their IP eg the most famous French tracker is tracker. Users still can use proxies and VPN, but most of them will be discouraged. Search for torrent proxies too. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

Once on the uTorrent Download Page , download the latest version of uTorrent that is suitable for your operating system. You should have downloaded a file named " uTorrent. Double click " uTorrent. After you've installed uTorrent you are ready to start optimizing. The first step in getting uTorrent to work properly is finding your uTorrent Listening Port.
You can find your uTorrent listening ports by clicking Options and selecting Preferences. You should see your uTorrent Listening Port listed in the upper right of the Preferences dialog box. Make a note of it, because that is the port that needs to be open for uTorrent to work effectively for you.
Note that each install of uTorrent uses a different port, so your port will likely be different than the one shown above. Also, Make sure that the Randomize port each start checkbox is not checked.
You do not want the port that you need to forward changing each time uTorrent starts. If uTorrent is currently open, you will need to completely close it at this time. Make sure that the green uTorrent icon is not still hiding in your notification area next to your clock. If it is, right click on it and choose "Exit". Before moving forward to things like selecting torrents, seeders, and leachers, we need to verify that your port is open.
We recommend downloading our free Open Port Check Tool to test if incoming connections are being allowed through your router on your uTorrent Listening Port. There are many ways to check if your port is open available around the Internet. So, why do we so strongly recommend the our Open Port Check Tool?
Our port checker is the best on the Internet because you will never get a false-positive result. There are many web sites that have open port checker tools, but these aren't guaranteed to give you an accurate report of which ports are open.
