Are you using Transmission 3.0 by chance? Some users have had to roll back to the previous version (2.94) to be able to work with the SSL tracker.
As for the blocking, there's not much we can do, as the DDoS protection is a 3rd party service, for which we are not able to configure or tweak.
Hello i tried with the latest version of μTorrent on my PC and also with an embedded torrent download client on my router which is "Freebox Bittorrent Downloader 2.0"
For users who are having a problem with the SSL certificate, you may need to use the non-SSL tracker. To do this, change the beginning of the announce URL from:
https://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/
to
http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/
You can also make this change permanent in your profile using the "Profile" tab at the top of the page, and disabling the SSL tracker.
I also use SurfShark VPN and this solution "solved" it. But for me it is more of a bypass than a solution.
It lowers the security to disable SSL.
Why is your HTTPS/SSL tracker the only one that does not work while using VPN. I have zero issues with other torrent sites….
From the sounds of it, it is likely that you may need to change VPN providers as the one you are using is being blocked by our DDoS filter.
I have the same issue with SurfShark and only with this site.
I am not going to change VPN subscription just for your site…
I bought a 2 year suscription and all other sites including torrent sites work normally
This should be excluded on GT site ends.
EDIT: disabling SSL in my profile "solves" the issue. But it more of a workaround than a solution. Can't this be fixed on GT tracker end?
