Windows Transmission daemon - Service Restart after VPN started

Post by matteg »

Hello.
I'm using transmission 2.92 on a windows 7 PC.
The transmission daemon service starts with no problems and will download using magnet torrents.

On startup of the pc, I manually start an openVPN service (proXPN) to maintain anonymity.
After the VPN starts, I have been been restarting the Transmission daemon windows service to ensure that it uses the VPN assigned IP address.

Is it necessary to do this or will the transmission daemon automatically use the newly assigned VPN IP address ?
Thanks
