How to use this tool

Follow these steps to get observations you can interpret and act on.

  1. Create a test session

    Connect the VPN or proxy you want to check, then create a unique torrent IP test.

  2. Open it in your torrent client

    Download the test torrent or use its magnet link. Keep the page open and let the client contact the tracker. No peers or content are shared.

  3. Compare and clean up

    Read the observed tracker address when it arrives, compare it with your expected VPN address, then remove the test torrent from the client.

Behind the check

How torrent IP address detection works

A browser request and a torrent client can use different network routes. This tool creates a unique tracker session so you can observe an actual request from your torrent client and compare it with your browser’s public address.

The tracker observes an actual announce request. The test contains no shared peers and does not inspect your torrent history. Tracker, peer, and DHT traffic can use different routes.

Understanding your results

  • The observed IP belongs to a real tracker announce. A browser-only visit cannot establish your torrent client’s exit address.
  • No observation may mean the client has not announced, the tracker is blocked, or the session expired. It is not a successful privacy result.
  • Tracker, peer and DHT traffic can take different routes. This check does not inspect peer or DHT connections or your torrent history.
Know the scope

Privacy & important limitations

  • The tracker receives the client’s source IP. Temporary observations use expiring shared storage for the ten-minute test session.
  • Automatic refresh stops after an address is observed and pauses while the page is hidden. Stop observing and remove the test torrent when finished.
Interpret the evidence

Measured findings include their source and scope. An unavailable check is never counted as a pass, a threat or a score.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Why does the tracker address differ from my browser IP?

Your torrent client may use a proxy, VPN binding or routing configuration that differs from your browser. Review the client’s network settings.

Does this look up torrents associated with my IP?

No. This is a live tracker observation for your unique test session. It does not search historical torrent activity or transfer shared content.
