BitTorrent Local Peer Discovery when using SOCKS

I am writing a simple BitTorrent client with Local Peer Discovery and SOCKS5 support.

Are these technologies mutually exclusive? Should I disable Local Peer Discovery when using SOCKS proxy?

Solution

  • Are these technologies mutually exclusive

    No. You can open regular sockets to listen for local connections found via LPD and use SOCKS for proxied connections.
