tamere22 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hi, I read the FAQs and blog infos about bittorrent sync but I'm not sure if what I want is achievable. I want to sync one or 2 folders between my phone (android) and my home server (any OS that would meet my requirements). I don't need cryptography storage, but need encrypted data transferts of course. I don't want the bittorrent sync client (neither on my phone or server) to reach anything else than my server (which has static IP). That means no contact with bittorrent sync servers. All syncs should be initiated by the phone to my static IP server. Is this 100% possible with bittorrent sync ? Thanks for hints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Not yet, because the mobile clients do not have user preferences regarding tracker, relay and predefined hosts, to name the few that would be necessary to be independent of any Bittorrent infrastructure. If you would use desktop and server versions only, you can change the necessary settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamere22 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thanks for the infos. A little trick by changing static dns entries Inside my android would make the mobile client go to my server directly ? Like add a static host tracker.bittorrentsync.com -> (my server's IP) Not sure if I'm clear BTW : bittorrent sync will not act as a "peer" for other bittorrent sync users ? You know, like TOR, ...

frater Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I reported this to the developers of the Android app and they just responded their client was working... So don't expect this to be working soon. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 BTW : bittorrent sync will not act as a "peer" for other bittorrent sync users ? You know, like TOR, ...No, your clients only transfer and exchange the data corresponding to the secrets that you have supplied to them.
