Torrent-fu IP for Peerblock "allow list"

Status
Not open for further replies.
After months of banging my head on this predicament I come to the mighty gurus of Android forums.
I torrent but really like the security Peerblock provides as I haven't received desist letters and would like to keep it that way. Unfortunately, Peerblock doesnt allow Torrent-fu though. I can make a specific list to allow IPs or IP ranges through but what IP address(range?) does Torrent-fu use via my ATT Captivate on 3g. Would it be different on Wi-Fi? (I dont think so but maybe if ATT deteremines the IP).

Basically, what can I enter into a Peerblock allow list to get torrent-fu through?
 
What with all of the net neutrality stuff that I've been actively following, mind if I ask what you're torrenting - just curious.

I torrent Linux and some HD feeds on my desktop / home net, so this interests me.
 
I torrent pretty much anything I can get my hands on but I missed the Xmas free registration for demonoid.me :(. I like the ability to search torrents on the fly with the Torrent-fu app and have a particular movie or book waiting when I get home but Peerblock doesnt let it though when running. I know how to make allow lists that specify an IP address or range but I dont know what to set it as when using the 3G connection on my Captivate. The closest info I find when connecting that way with wap.cingular.com for the cellular access point.

How can I determine what IP and port is used when torrent-fu connects? Is there a software someone can recommend probably as a network monitor to find out? In this scenario, would the Torrent-Fu connection be random or static?

I guess I need to know what IP address is being used from the ATT WAP to my PC. Any light shed on this would be helpful and there are apparently a lot of people asking this too.
