### Soft/web-ware needed

1. [tunnelr.com](http://tunnelr.com) account or any other SSH tunnel provider.
1. VMWare fusion.

1. Start tunneling from MacOS Terminal:  
```ssh -p 22 -N -D 8080 -g username@nyc.tunnelr.com```
1. 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)
1. 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).
1. In utorrent go Preferences -> Connection:
    - Disable all port mappings.

    - Enable all **Proxy Privacy** options.
