Using SSH tunnel to set-up secured connection (utorrent) in Windows XP under VMWare fusion (MacOS host)

Soft/web-ware needed

  1. tunnelr.com account or any other SSH tunnel provider.
  2. VMWare fusion.
  3. Windows XP.
  4. utorrent.

How to

  1. Start tunneling from MacOS Terminal:
    ssh -p 22 -N -D 8080 -g username@nyc.tunnelr.com
  2. Install and start-up Windows XP in VMWare fusion. Network connection should be set in the way that Mac provides NAT for Windows XP (default)
  3. Run cmd and type ipconfig to get IP Address, e.g. 192.168.124.129, meaning that MacOS address is 192.168.124.1 or 192.168.124.2 (in this tutorial will go with first one).
  4. In utorrent go Preferences -> Connection:
    • Disable all port mappings.
    • Choose proxy server type: Socks5; Proxy:192.168.124.1.
    • Enable all Proxy Privacy options.
  5. Enjoy!
