torrent issue

Hey. Just got a notice about a torrent I'd gotten. I use AirVPN all the time but it apparently didn't shield me.

Hello!

Provided that it was not an error by your ISP (were you really performing the illegal activity the notice describes?), and you were running AirVPN software, this is possible only if you disabled Network Lock. Network Lock is a set of firewall rules which will prevent any possible traffic leak, not only leaks caused by unexpected disconnection, but even leaks caused by a misconfiguration of the torrent program, for example when it is forced to bind to the physical network interface, through UPnP or wrong setting. Please make sure that you follow the recommendations you have received in the welcome e-mail, the web site answers to FAQ and the general guide.

if you are not running AirVPN software, then you can set your own rules to prevent leaks (several guides are available in our How-To forum), and/or configure properly the torrent program to prevent it from generating traffic outside the VPN tunnel.

Reading documentation is always a good investment.

Kind regards

in a vps downloading seeding public torrents, is it possible the provider (netcup) to see the torrenting activity?
I mean in hardware level and networking. Outside the vps, inside their infrastacture, in the host system. I am not talking about misconfiguration of client, no leaks at all according to ipleak.net. I mean in the host system if there is any possible trace about torrenting. (legal stuff, just movies and tv series - as legal as it can be :p  sorry for my english
