How to set up NordVPN in µTorrent

Video Overview & Insights

For those who want to give a little thanks, I just set up a page over at buymeacoffee as a new way to show support. The internet can be pretty neat sometimes. :)

Not relevant video any more:
"NordVPN has discontinued its SOCKS5 proxy servers; you will not find a functional SOCKS5 server list on their website or within their services."

Looks like a great straightforward video however it really didn’t work for me, I just spent seven hours typing with Nord VPN and my system still is barely working and the downloads are slow as molasses, dealing with them is a total joke ! Unless of course you like total runaround and repeating yourself and typing for seven hours

Tbh NordVPN is great just not great for P2P ... Id recommend just using ExpressVPN I use both for 2 different purposes.

@PhannyObsession

What do you mean supports p2p downloads? The regular servers ‘support’ p2p. Can you elaborate? Thanks

@joeyp978

@Glisten-w5j

Sock5 currently out of commision thats some shit especially considering I just got the 2 year plan and never got vpn payed in my life...... guess ill have to be ok with 1 1/2 - 2mb/s at most.

@grimmz9111
@

Do i have to do this scenario if i got the desktop app activated? Plus, shouldnt Nord show up on my files section? it just shows Path

@tonebone8149

Socks 5 isn't supported anymore for utorrents. Mind making an update for your NordVPN tutorials please for your fans?

I used to always follow this tutorial for other PC's and it always worked. Unfortunately, when I did this to my new PC recently, it didn't work because if you just try again, the tools web reference doesn't show proxy 5 option and therefore when attempted it doesn't utorn anything or show utorn pro option. Can a new fix for this?

@Private-tsu
@

Hi I followed this process, as I used to do this on my old win 7 PC. Now I have A NUC win 10, and I followed to the letter as in your tutorial. I am in the UK. However, I am still trying to connect to peers even after 30mins nothing downloads. I am using NORD VPN, Nothing works, any suggestion please?? Nothing will download.

@kacy_12
@

so i dont need to manually open a specific and optimal p2p torrent port in my router ?

@neootioo9807
@

Great stuff really, but what to do when using a NAS (Synology) anywhay one can apply this in any form or capacity at all?

@Arelius-D
@

@MikeTheTech There is no SOCKS5 option anymore.

@BiggestOfDaddies
@

should you allow seeding when u use the proxy? (rookie here, sry)

@jensbornermann9748

Easy and straight to the point. Solid work sir.

Great video!! Very helpful! Thank you very much!

Great video straightforward and easy to follow especially for first time setting it up. Thanks!

I'm US based and recently got Nordvpn and wanted to use utorrent. I followed your instructions using sock5 to setup the proxy but after doing so my utorrent wont download anything (despite reinstalling utorrent). if I use "none" for proxy servers than utorrent works fine but then my ip address would be disclosed and be tracked. Tried qbitorrent too, had same issue.

If I'm using utorrents as per your above video instructions then do I need to have my NordVPN turned off when i use utorrent or does it even matter? Is having bot active together a problem

If I have NordVPN already activated do I even need to separately set up the utorrent sock5 proxy to keep my downloads private? is using NordVPN on its own not good enough where i can use utorrent directly without any proxy setup?

If I do still need to use a proxy despite Nordvpn being active can you advise on what I'm doing wrong and why my utorrent wont download anything when I use the sock5 proxy. I followed the setup exactly as you stated in your video which was quite straightforward (which also matched the setup instructions by Nordvpn).

Does using a vpn give you access to more torrents? Just wondering if other countries have more torrents that are available than in the US.

@r-kellyspeesheets908

So I have tried this with Bittorrent/uTorrent and still can not get it to connect. I've tried following their guide on their site and won't connect(which they say to use the username/password that generated on your Dashboard on the site) a long with how you have done it here as well. Still tells me that it can't connect. What may I be doing wrong?

Hello, I'm from Germany and I don't think we have a sever with sock 5 ?

@transon6655

Hello Mike. I got stuck in some problems. So I have some questions:
1. Do I need to set up this proxy if my vpn is on anyway while torrenting?
2. Can my vpn app protect my torrents if my vpn is run under my browser only?
3. When I wanted to select the security protocol, there was no Socks5 on the list and the best server recommendation changed every 5 minutes. Can I choose another proxy server type in preferences?

Thanks for your helpful video, although I have some questions.
I live in Europe and Socks5 or HTTP servers do not exist in Europe or are very few.
1. Do I need the Nordvpn application running on the background to download torrents from uTorrent ?
2. Some torrents especially from Codex group do not find any peers, is this related with the Socks5 that are not so common with Nordvpn ? (Cause in general there are around 35 Socks5 in US and more than 400 for HTTP, HTTP Cybersec , OpenVPN etc ).
3. Is it safe to use utorrent when the Application Nordvpn doesn't run?

Thank you in advance

Do I have to use my email and password for nordvpn?

@maximumshades3164
@

Do I need to leave my vpn on and connected? Or if I have my proxy set up I don’t need to?

@danielkarram7454
@

I set this up but still cant connect to peers

@gorkka848
@

where to find port?

@omkarkasabe6882

Hi Mike loved this torrent tutorial, I was wondering if you could do a YT tutorial on putting NordVpn onto a NETGEAR Nighthawk R7000 1300Mbps 5-Port Wireless Router.

@bunnyburns

Love it very easy to follow great, all my torrents protected now.

@bunnyburns

A couple of questions please. 1. I am using the free version of utorrent, does that matter in any way? 2. Do I need my listening port selected like you have it? 3. I did what you did for set up and I am downloading fine, BUT, where you turned off Authentication just to show that it would stop downloading..I did that and it never stopped downloading, didn't even slow it down. What did I do wrong? I followed step by step when you did it. Thanks for a great video!

@wolfsmane
@

At 2:31, where are you getting the torrent file from? What site or is it part of utorrent?

@LZ41681
@

do I have to set up this proxy or can I just connect to p2p through my program and start torrenting? what does setting this up in utorrent do exactly?

@arobs01
@

what password do you put?
