Robustness of connection blocking if proxy down?
Posted: Wed Mar 24, 2021 8:07 am
I have the following configuration:
- SOCKS5 proxy enabled with proxy ip and port
- enabled "Use proxy for peer connections"
- filled out username and password
Seems to work fine under normal circumstances but I'm wondering what will happen if the proxy is down. How robust is qBittorrent at preventing leaking of the ip address in various error circumstances given the above configuration?
In the past I've setup iptable rules to prevent all outbound traffic that does not have a destination of the proxy server, but that created some problems on my new install so I've disabled it.
If it matters I'm running qbittorrent-nox on a Raspberry Pi 4 under Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS, and then using the web UI on my Windows 10 machine.
