Hello!

You don't need to tunnel uTorrent over a proxy when connected to AirVPN. It will result in a serious performance hit. The advantage is that in case of unexpected VPN disconnection chances that uTorrent will reveal your real IP address are lower, however if you secure your connection against leaks (see the permanent links in the announcements section of the forum) witch a firewall you will obtain higher security without performance being impaired.

Kind regards

I just purchased AirVPN and I am very lost.  After reading your answer, I am still lost.  What do I do with uTorrent to ensure that I can resume downloading safely?  I am very unfamiliar with terms such as "port forwarding."
