Then, restart Vuze (might also have had to restart PIA?) This took a lot of wrangling for this to work. Select PIA, then erase "Path to PIA Manager Program" (leaving it blank) In Vuze, Installed Vuze plugin VPNHelper v5.2: Vuze | Preferences | Plugins | VPN Helper: When I hover mouse over PIA icon in Mac menubar, it indeed shows a forwarding port: eg, "You are connected (Germany Berlin) - (#.#.#.#) " I made sure to connect to one of the 11 PIA connections that is "Port Forwarding Enabled" (PIA Settings | Manage Favorites) eg, Canada, France, Czech. Local Port (did nothing, I left it blank, experimented with inserting the Vuze listening port and RPC port- it didnt help) In PIA Advanced Settings: Connection type: udp My installation process was a little rocky, but I'll try to recapitulate everything I did: It would be nice not to have to restart Vuze every time I add a torrent. Neither R-clicking on torrent, selecting Tracker/Torrent | Update Tracker (nor scraping) has any effect. I have to restart Vuze, and then it immediately shows seeds/peers. when I load a popular torrent, it invariably has 0/0 seed/peers and will stay that way, indefinitely.

Secondary issue: often 0 seed/peers when loading popular torrent. (So, the underlying issue is a failure of port forwarding? I do have the red "Firewalled" status, and Vuze does fail the NAT/Firewall Test on Vuze's listening port.)

However, with torrents of 3-5 seeders, those remote connections really matter. With robust multiple-seeder torrents, I have no problem (since the local connections suffice).

Its been working reasonably for a few weeks.
