@VONCROFT16 I use PrivateVPN from PrivateVPN.com

They support Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. They also have a strict no logging policy, so if someone approaches them with a legal request to disclose your information, they can honestly respond by informing that person that they cannot disclose information they do not have.

As a bonus, they also support port forwarding of one port on all server locations, except for the locations that forward ALL ports. If your provider uses a high grade DPI to try to intercept or otherwise kill VPN traffic, they also offer a stealth option so that you can fly under the radar of the DPI and go about your business anyway.

thank you

@VONCROFT16 I don't know about free, but I have been using PrivateVPN from PrivateVPN.com for a really long time now, and I've never had an issue. They not only support stealth VPN, but they also support port forwarding, which is critical for using our tracker properly.

thank you

@MrMazda said:

@VONCROFT16 Yeah... It sounds like your provider is using some high grade DPI that inspects the full URL and/or looks at the user agent string on the HTTP request to identify that it is a P2P request, rather than just a regular web request. The only way I know of to get around such a DPI restriction is to use a VPN that has a stealh firewall as well, so it can scrub a lot of the information that DPI uses to determine traffic and slip by under the radar

any suggesstion for VPN which is free, that has a steatlh firewall as well? by the way, thank you so much for responding and trying solve the problem.

@VONCROFT16 Ahhhh... Your ISP likely has a more complex DPI system, which they are using for DNS request interception. You may need to use a stealth VPN to skirt around this issue.

in this case why is he able to browse the site and only the torrent client cannot connect?

that was what I was also thinking

@VONCROFT16 which torrent client are you using?
I have been using bittorent version 7.2.1.25273 till yesterday. No problem till yesterday. I even uninstalled and installed it a couple of time. I tried and changed to utorrent_2.2.1. But I am having the same problem.

@MrMazda said:

@VONCROFT16 After some testing of that part on my end, it would appear there's some kind of freaky redirect issue going on for some torrent clients.

You should be able to get around it either by turning ON the SSL tracker in your profile, then downloading the .torrent file again, or by manually adjusting the tracker URL in your torrent client.

Try changing the beginning from:

http://tracker.gaytor.rent:2710/

to

https://tracker.gaytor.rent/

This will likely resolve the issue you are having.

The other possibility is if it's not an SSL redirect issue, the VPN provider you are using may be imposing port restrictions on port 2710, which is not uncommon, as this is the most common port for HTTP based torrent trackers.

none of those links are loading
Till yesterday, it was working fine. I was able to download and seed. I was using the same VPN. Apparently the country I am staying has banned gaytor.rent. But I am using VPN and the gaytor.rent page is loading just fine. The issue is I am not able to download the files from the torrent.

@MrMazda nope, it doesn't load

@cabass
I am having the same issue as well.

@MrMazda said:

@VONCROFT16 Hmmmm... This is strange. This means your actual PC is able to reach the tracker's back end, however for some reason, your torrent client is not. Are you using the same VPN location/session as you're using for the torrent client that is not connecting?

yes, I am using the same VPN location/session as I am using for the torrent client that is not connecting.

Does this link open a stats page

@MrMazda "offline (timed out)

I can't download either. Is there a problem with the site for this as well?

Thank you all for your kind suggestions. I’m already using a VPN. I just wanted to share the news. However, until yesterday, when I wanted to leave my computer on solely for torrenting to get the maximum speed, I would connect without a VPN. That won’t be possible anymore.

@LEandros which VPN are you using? Does it allow you to download? Ca?n you please tell me which vpn you are using

@LEandros This explains why I wasn't able to download and all my seedings went in red.
