]]> check torrent ipHundreds and thousands of BitTorrent users have taken measures to hide their identity when they are downloading. But, can they really be sure that your VPN or anonymizing software is hiding their IP-address? Now they can.

CheckMyTorrentIP is a free service that allows BitTorrent users who use an anonymous connection to verify that their setup is secure.

“Anonymizing services like VPNs and Proxies aren’t always 100% effective so this tool helps users harden their setups,” the founder of the site told FreakBits.

There are many applications and web based tools that display your IP-address, but there can not always test your BitTorrent connection accurately. With CheckMyTorrentIP you can, the founder said.

The service gives users an unique torrent which they can use to confirm that their line is secured. Users can check their IP on the website and it will also be displayed in their torrent client, so they can monitor their connection without going to the website.
