Can it use a Socks proxy? If not, connect to BolehRoute instead, that doesn't require proxy settings in any program.

EDIT: A quick search reveals that it can use Socks proxies, so set it to Socks5. IP 10.10.10.1 port 1080 Connect to the publictracker configuration in OpenVPN

Hi, thanks for your reply. I installed the programme found here, http://patch.winmxconex.com/ but I'm having trouble establishing a connection to other peers. Only managed to connect to the WinMX peer network. Can you help me? This was my favourite p2p programme before streamyx got throttled. Thanks a bunch.

I managed to get it working, a bit slow and not many seeders though. See below for the settings screenshot. If you're behind a firewall / router, make sure that you open a TCP / UDP port for this, and in the Incoming TCP Connections / In/Out UDP Packets, specify the port. Connect to the publictracker configuration in OpenVPN.

To be honest, I think it's a rather poor client, something like Emule or Frostwire. I suggest using uTorrent and a private tracker, such as IPTorrents instead.
