<p dir="auto">When my ratio goes low, I go on seed binges. I purchase an EC2 instance on Amazon's AWS through an anonymous company, download a bunch of highly desirable torrents and then seed the hell out of them. My ratio is getting pretty close to parity, so it's time to do this again.</p>
<p dir="auto">Instead of spending the money to do this with Amazon through an anonymous provider, I want to try and use a proxy service like BTGuard. But I'm not sure this makes me anonymous while seeding. I understand that my downloading will be anonymous, but will my seeding? How does an incoming connection reach me if I am behind a SOCKS proxy? Does BTGuard somehow forward packets destined for their IP address to my connection? I also know that I can test my downloading IP address, but is there a way to test my upload IP?</p>
<p dir="auto">Their help page is not working at the moment, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm a programmer, not an IT guy, so I'd rather hear an answer from someone who knows than just make assumptions.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks!</p>

I guess I'll just rent a node at Amazon and seed away again <img src="https://community.gaytor.rent/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f642.png?v=57695cee877" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-apple emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /></p>

<p dir="auto">Though I made extensive tests with many different configurations, I could never figure out what is going wrong. Seems to have something to do with the (incoming) port forwarding through these proxy, not sure …</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, the issue is the upload doesn't count well ... so not the best solution to improve share ratio  :afr:</p>
