Deluge
The thing is, I have everything routed through an anonymous SOCKS5 proxy. I have all peer sharing disabled, except DHT which Deluge is supposed to explicitly support for a proxy. I've verified the proxy is working by doing one of those checkmytorrentIP.torrent files. Peer, Webseed, Tracker, and DHT are all routed through the same proxy, I have the "entire stream" encrypted, everything except DHT from the network tab disabled, and they're still getting my IP. I also have the blocklist plugin configured. This is an academic question at this point: how the hell are they finding my real IP?Hash: SHA1

Attachment 174901998.xml blocked - file type not allowed.
I went to their website and they claim: "IP-Echelon utilizes non-invasive proprietary technologies to monitor file sharing activity and detect infringement of various intellectual properties." This sounds to me like a DHT honeypot kinda thing but I thought Deluge was supposed to thwart such things when a DHT proxy is enabled....? Any ideas on how they're doing this?
Please save the "just use a VPN" speech. I want to know how they're getting my IP when everything is supposed to go over a proxy with Deluge.
Thank you.
