I'm asking this here because I thought maybe utorrent has some special feature that enables it to bypass VPN. As for Tunnelbear, they are clear on their no torrent policy. It is specifically mentioned in their website that torrent downloading is not allowed. They have also mentioned that they tunnel all traffic. Now when I try utorrent with tunnelbear again, it does connect and start downloading, but with very low speeds (0.1 kb/s). The file that I could download (the one I a talked about in original post) was downloaded at much higher speed (around the same as normal VPN download speed). So the question is, is it possible that utorrent just found a way around the tunnel? Or was it just a glitch of the tunnelbear allowing the torrent traffic?
You can resolve this issue by adding tunnelbear.exe to the list of exceptions managed by your security software in USA. This will force the program to ignore TunnelBear while it continues offering you protection.
