Check your torrent ip


Always monitor your torrent IP, especially if using a VPN or Proxy.

A legal torrent file is generated uniquely for you below.

Since no one else has your torrent & there are 0 seeders, you won't download anything else.

Your IP address will be shown in your Bittorrent client and on this website:


If you're using a VPN or proxy there are many ways your personal IP address can still be exposed:
  • VPN connection drops
  • Misconfigured Proxy
  • Misconfigured Firewall
  • Client software bug
  • Relative or friend using your PC
  • Being an exit node on private P2P
  • Unknowingly using employer's VPN
  • More ways and details in FAQ
Why can't you just use a web browser to check your IP? See question 4 in the FAQ which gives examples where a web browser fails to help you.

Monitoring your own torrent IP address will help you close holes in your security practices in order to better safe guard your privacy.
