</div></div>Hello,<br>
<br>
I think what is being talked about is something far simpler: accessing<br>
TPB through Tor, but have the P2P connections not being blocked. This<br>
is actually the recommended way of using Tor with P2P, and is easily<br>
possible in most clients. I only know about deluge, seeing that is<br>
what I use on my Ubuntu box, and all I had to do was check "Tracker<br>
Proxy" in the settings, and type in my Tor SOCKS proxy.<br>
<br>
Let me know if this helps, and good luck!<br>
