When using qBittorrent...

When I enable Anonymous Mode(VPN is also on) and do an ipleak and ipmagnet test, it just shows the proxy ip.

When I disable Anonymous Mode and just use proxy(VPN is also on) and do an ipleak and ipmagnet test, it shows the torrent client that I am using and the proxy ip.

When I just use the VPN(no proxy) and do an ipleak and ipmagnet test, it shows the torrent client that I am using, vpn ip and the port that qBittorrent is using.

Is this normal?? So basically, even when the traffic is encrypted, my ISP can still tell I am torrenting something(since they can see I am using a torrent client). The only way that they can't tell is when I enable the Anonymous Mode, so is it really a bad idea to enable it? what are the cons of enabling the Anonymous Mode?

Thanks,

  • I've read in these forums that having it on can cause a leak of some kind. Seems as tho it's a better idea to use the proxy along with the pia client vpn, with the anon left unchecked. 

    So I chose to not have it on, and not only am i not throttled and max out my bandwidth download speeds, but ipleak.net shown that my bittorrents were cmng from the netherlands, and my isp was actually in new jersey.
    Which case, I'm in neither.
