<b>“How do I find whom used BT?”</b> <br> <br>I’ve never used BitTorrent, but aren’t IP addresses logged somewhere? <br> <br><b>“How to disable BitTorrent on my VPN server?”</b> <br> <br>How did you install it? Wouldn’t you simply need to retrace your steps, in reverse order? <br> <br>Lastly, you should probably install a firewall.

<blockquote>2 How to disable BitTorrent on my VPN server?</blockquote> <br>You can’t. You can block the common bittorrent ports but you can’t “disable” it completely.
