Biggs Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I installed sync on my VPS and I received an e-mail from the provider saying that my server is used for illegal torrents. I don't have any other software using torrent protocol on the server, is it possible that my server is a node for illegal torrents sharing? The email says it detected sharing of the file "The Hateful Eight (2015)" with bittorrent on port 35713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 @Biggs The only way Sync relates to torrents is the common protocol. I.e. Sync operates torrents, but these are only your torrents that are created on the fly to deliver your files. Sync does not participate in any sharings done with uTorrent or BitTorrent applications. I guess that your provider uses some simple protocol detection which identified Sync as "uTorrent" and want you to shut it down. Other option is that you get some unwanted guest on your VPS server :). Did you check what is the process communicating over port 35713?

Biggs Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I didn't check the port because the provider put my VPS into "rescue mode" until I resolve this problem... I think I will just cancel my subscription as I don't really need that VPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
