Why would that be indicated, anyway? The VPN was working previously on this computer, it is still working on another computer, and I can't find any posts indicating that others are having trouble with this VPN on Windows 7. Given the timing of the problem relative to malware problems, doesn't it seem more likely that the problem is in network configuration, permissions, or something else on this particular computer? This says ask your vpn provider to me. As noted by item 6 in the original post, I don't have any problem uploading and downloading torrents through that same VPN from an XP computer on the same network.
Start new topic. Recommended Posts. Freonpsandoz Posted February 14, Can you tell me if there is a way to stop the torrent when VPN disconnects? I spent some time researching this issue. The best way to prevent your real IP from being seen if your VPN disconnects is to use a torrent client that will only listen on a virtual network adapter that the VPN uses, rather than your physical network adapter. Most if not all VPN services use a virtual network adapter to connect to the VPN, which effectively re-routes traffic through the physical adapter.
In doing so, your real IP address is hidden to the outside world. The VPN service also allows you to unblock torrenting sites. Qbittorrent which is a free torrent client allows you to specify a virtual adapter as its communication port, though other torrent clients may also offer the same feature. For the purpose of this article I will focus on the Qbittorrent client. The first thing you will need to do is find out the name of your virtual network adapter used in conjunction with your VPN service.
This will handle any VPN disconnects while torrenting; put another way, this will stop the torrent when VPN disconnects and therefore will not expose your real IP address. You can test this functionality by downloading a "safe" torrent, then disconnect your VPN service manually. You should see that the download is stalled. I need more questions.
If you have a computer question - or even a computer problem that needs fixing - please email me with your question so that I can write more articles like this one. I can't promise I'll respond to all the messages I receive depending on the volume , but I'll do my best.

Have a nice day!!! MJ Buckland Hi. Can you help please? Have you tried to turn off the Secure VPN and download the file? I tried various servers, i tried logging out and back into VPN, but net result is the same. Is there a solution or should i get a refund? A VPN encrypts traffic and data before sending it to a server.
