How to Bypass Traffic Shaping with Proxomitron and uTorrent in 6 Easy Steps

All of us knew that most of internet service provider provides a super cool traffic shaping feature in their internet connectivity package. They limit our usage and eventually, deflate our effort to promote P2P (Peer to Peer) culture. We al love p2p aren’t we? I share and you leech and then you do the same. That’s what we call ecology. OK, stop this long introduction and let me guide you to the first step:

1. Download and Install Proxomitron. You can download it by googling it or by going to this site (http://www.proxomitron.info/). If your firewall is triggered, just accept Proxomitron access to internet.

2. Open Proxomitron UI by clicking on that greenish icon (look in your start menu).

3. On your right, you’ll have edit filters column. Click on headers.

4. Go to this and you’ll see 6 user-agents. Click any one of it at “out” column. (Do not click more than one). Click OK.

5. Go to uTorrent (current: 1.72) and go to preference. Go to “Connection” section and in “proxy server” section, choose HTTP as type, with “localhost” as proxy and “8080” as port. Save your settings.
