Just to update in case anyone else stumbles along this post, and since no one seems to ever really reply here, I found out you can do it in a "hacky workaround" way, but it would be SO MUCH more user friendly if whoever has the ability to do so, just add it into the UI settings:
To add SOCKS5 Proxy add it to the .rtorrent.rc
file (note, there is also a rtorrent.rc
W/OUT a dot in front; that won't work):
i.e. config/rtorrent/.rtorrent.rc
network.http.proxy_address.set = "socks5h://<uname>:<pw>@<yoursock5provider>:1080"
@YouveGotMeowxy I was looking for this, so thanks. I think however that the issue should be raised in Novik/ruTorrent instead, as this repo is just a docker image for it.
Edit
I've realised changing the setting this setting in .rtorrent.rc
, changes it in UI if you look at Settings > Advanced > http_proxy
. But trying to change the proxy_address
setting, both in the UI as well as .rtorrent.rc
(network.proxy_address.set
) returns error Could not set proxy address: Try again
.
I'm not sure what the difference is between network.proxy_address.set
and network.http.proxy_address.set
.
@ToshY Sorry, I'm not sure why yours isn't working. Mine works; I've even tested that the IP changes with an IP checker.
Hey @YouveGotMeowxy 👋
I think you've slighly misunderstood what I meant. The setting you've denoted network.http.proxy_address.set
does "work" (also tested it with a magnet link with ipleak.net), but this is apparently only for tracker connections, whereas network.proxy_address.set
is for peer connections.^1
Because I was unsure what that actually meant, I've tested this, and saw that when I have ruTorrent setup with network.http.proxy_address.set
with sock5 proxy, and connect it to a torrent, while at the same time connecting another torrent client to the same torrent, it still showed the original hostname/ip for the ruTorrent client and not the proxy hostname.
So that's why I also wanted to set network.proxy_address.set
, which doesn't work 🙁
@ToshY oh wow! You're right, I did misunderstand. That's scary to know actually!
I've been running it for awhile now using only the "tracker proxy" thinking I'm covered. Thankfully no DM-CA notices since switching that "on", but now I'm a lil freaked out. Please keep me updated if you get the "peers proxy" part working!
Hey @YouveGotMeowxy 👋
I will keep you updated. In the meantime I've created an issue at https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/issues/1238. Don't really have much hope for it, as rtorrent doesn't seem to be maintained anymore (and the latest release 0.9.8
was almost 4 years ago) 🙁
So we shall see.
Hey @YouveGotMeowxy 👋
Apparently there has never been any support for setting a socks5 proxy for peer connections: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/issues/1238#issuecomment-1653796535 Not sure if it will be implemented some day, as rtorrent itself doesn't seem to be actively maintained anymore.
