Copyright Notice using Proxy + Blocklist?
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2016 7:44 pm
I've always been super careful online, I had never received a copyright notice before and am looking for some feedback from the forum.
I received my first and hopefully last Copyright Infringement letter and with all the caution I've taken I was very shocked when I saw it. I've considered other bittorent clients as I've read that this has happened to a couple other Deluge users, but I am a huge Deluge fan. Not a fan of anything else really after trying them all so I'd just prefer this to work properly.
I use PIA for my proxy connection, Blocklist add-on enabled and use a iBlocklist's Anti-infringement list via https://www.iblocklist.com that I pay for annually.
Here are my current settings for Deluge 1.3.13:
Network Connections
Proxy Connections
Blocklist
The copyright infringement letter I received indicated the port number and it was not 1080, it was on one of the randomly generated ports:
- ------------- Infringement Details ----------------------------------
Title: Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown
Timestamp: 2016-12-XXXX:XX:XXX
IP Address: XX.XX.XXX.XXX
Port: 52567
Type: BitTorrent
Torrent Hash: 15b0e069b5885c16fa2a104680a344e488c6a2b6
Filename: Anthony.Bourdain.Parts.Unknown.S08E04.720p.HDTV.x264.mp4
Filesize: 508 MB
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the letter I downloaded a program I used to use, but no longer find very useful until now, PeerBlocker. I set it up and added the infringement list and was astonished when I started Deluge. With absolutely no torrents at all added I received tons and tons of flagged connections through the random incoming/outgoing ports:
Now I am not a true believer in block-lists so I am aware those IP's being blocked could be ANYTHING not posing a threat ...but I am concerned. I then changed the ports from random to specific ranges and asked my firewall to block all outgoing and incoming connections within those ranges ...and then any torrents/magnet links added would not connect and download at all. I also found the after shutting down and starting Deluge a few times it would randomize the port number even though that option was disabled.
I've since gone back to my researched setup which all the pics are from above. I am fairly concerned and would truly appreciate any feedback please and thank you!
