Allow multiple connections from same IP
Posted: Fri May 08, 2020 11:16 pm
Hello!
I'm trying to allow multiple connections from the same IP address on the same torrent, similar to the functionality offered by uTorrent's "bt.allow_same_ip" flag. I'm looking for this because my VPN offers port forwarding, but in doing so they NAT all incoming connections behind the same 10.x.x.x IP. This means without allowing multiple connections from it, I can only have one incoming peer connection per torrent.
Ideally if I could whitelist an IP or IP range to allow multiple connections from it would be preferred so I can specify that CIDR, but allowing multiple connections from all IPs would work as well.
