I may be wrong and look forward to some additional comments to clarify my understanding. Like I said, this is my simplified understanding about how these things work. I have listed them above from least secure to most secure as far as "tracker" anonymity. Once again, if your connection fails, you may "leak" your true identity. Your ISP can't see anything but a stream and your public IP address is that of the network you're connected to. It's the equivalent of taking a network cable from your computer and plugging it into another network at a different location. VPN (Virtual Private Network) - This bores a tunnel into another network. If your proxy fails it will still "leak" your true IP address to the world and the trackers you're connected to. It changes your IP address to the world but your ISP can still see everything, including your torrent activity. Proxy Server - This does absolutely NO encryption of your data stream. They can see the amount of data you're passing through their system, but not the contents. It obfuscates your content from your ISP. UTorrent encryption - This encrypts the data stream between your computer and the trackers you're connected to. I've studied this too and here's what I (think) I understand. I am confused about VPN and proxy servers. I enabled incoming Protocol Encryption, is that enough? Please help, done some searching and still confused, What is the easiest and best setting for utorrent to be anonymous when file sharing?
