riahc3 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Im using the latest versión of Bittorrent Sync and the option "Search DHT network" does not appear. I do not want to use this option but I want to make sure that it is disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 @riahc3 It is disabled. Was removed in ~2.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manual/wiki/help/etc should be updated to reflect that and removing any confusion... Some of us want to use this strictly over a VPN (LAN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can you elaborate the reason on why DHT is disabled and removed? I've briefly searched the forum and changelog, but couldn't find an answer. I'm asking this because I reckon DHT as a useful feature. As an example, considering the recent drama around the Great Firewall of China blocking Resilio Sync -- if DHT is still around, it won't be an issue in the first place.

RomanZ Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 @hanru Unfortunately, vast majority of users do not understand DHT background and panic once they see Sync connecting to different unknown addresses even if they enable DHT themselves. As a result, we decided to stop using DHT technology in Sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about making it disabled by default and can be enabled only in advanced "power user preferences"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biotecdonut Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 @RomanZ This is a very unwise move considering the fact that resilio sync is a p2p application. Now it's totally unusable in China since the government has banned all the trackers and poisoned the DNS, which cannot be solved for long term by using any proxy servers or setting the hosts file manually. And China won't be the last one to apply this approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
