This guide will explain another way to download torrent files through FreeBSD servers with the help of TOR. With TOR, it is certain that your downloading work will be difficult to detect, because everything is done ANonymously.

Before you do the installation process, you should install the TOR and Privoxy applications first on your FreeBSD server. After successfully installing TOR on the FreeBSD server and using it on the Windows client, I was even more challenged to try TOR to connect to torrent clients, such as Bittorrent, Utorrent, and others.

Pay attention to the image below, to make it easier for you to read this article.

System Specifications

In this article, we try to configure torrent clients (Bittorrent and Utorrent) to download torrent files via TOR and Privoxy networks.

1. OS: FreeBSD 13.2 Stable
2. IP Server FreeBSD: 192.168.9.3
3. IP/Port TOR: 192.168.9.3:9050
4. IP/Port Privoxy: 192.168.9.3:8008

For the Privoxy configuration file in the /usr/local/etc/privoxy folder, we forward it to the TOR IP/Port.

root@router2:~ # ee /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config
listen-address  192.168.9.3:8008
forward-socks5   /   192.168.9.3:9050 .

Bittorrent and Utorrent Settings

In this article we assume your Windows computer has Utorrent and Bittorrent. Then you open the program.

Now let's try to test it by downloading a torrent file. If there is no file in torrent format, download it first. If there is a torrent file, we open it with Bittorrent, see the download speed.

If you are using Utorrent program, the method is the same as above. The most important thing from this article is that you must install TOR and Privoxy first, otherwise do not expect the download to run normally.
