Confusion Rules PIA and uTorrent

Now i'm really confused i have set up PIA and utorrent as shown below  
PIA Settings are
Connection type: UPD
Remote Port: Auto
VPN Kill Switch: Enabled
DNS Leak Protection: Enabled
IPv6 Leak Protection: Enabled
Small Packets: Enabled
Encryption set at AES-256, SHA256, RSA-4096
UTorrent V 3.1.3 Settings are
Connection Ticked Settings
  •  add windows firewall exception,
  •  Authentication,
  • Proxy Server Type SOCKS 5
  • Use Proxy for Host-name lookups
  • Use Proxy for P to P connections
  • Disable all Local DNS lookups
  • Disable features that leak identifying information
  • Disable connections unsupported by the proxy
Bit Torrent  Ticked Settings
  •  Enable local peer discovery
  • Enable UDP tracker support
  • Ask tracker for scrape information
  • Enable peer exchange
  • Protocol Encryption = Forced
My question here is are these settings correct and should i be  Randomizing Port each start and should i be using Port Forwarding  
I contacted with Tech support yesterday and these are the settings they told me to use it seems they are different to what some are recommending here and that is getting me very confused

Please go into the Options Menu, and click on Connection:
We want to ensure that "Enable UPnP Port Mapping", "Enable NAT-PMP Port Mapping", and "Randomize port each start" are all unchecked. If you are using Port Forwarding in our Application, please enter the forwarded port in the "Port used for incoming connections" field.
If your main goal for torrents is speed, and sharing back to the swarm, please do not enable the Proxy server options, as this will slow down your downloads, and inhibit sharing back to the swarm.
Please also click on the BitTorrent Tab, and uncheck "Enable Bandwidth Management [uTP]"
For Maximum security, please uncheck "Enable DHT Network" and "Enable DHT for new torrents" These options may lead to having less seeds, but is more secure, and anonymous.

I posted this on another page yesterday and i'm not sure if it was the right way to go about it

  • Hi friend---

    Login here and go to your Control Panel. Scroll to bottom-right of the page and generate a username & password for 'PPTP/L2TP/SOCKS' .....and then follow the instructions in this tutorial

    FYI: This is PIA's socks5 address and connection port:

    SOCKS5 Proxy 
    proxy-nl.privateinternetaccess.com port 1080 

    If you follow the tutorial I've linked for you, you'll be fine as far as anonymity in your torrenting.  

  • Thank you very much for your help will go over the details and sorry for the late reply sometimes work gets in the way cheers
