I noticed a South Korean client that claimed that it was a uTorrent client (UTz\xAD) that:</p> <p>114.200.XX.XX:345YY v:UTz\xAD is trying to convince me I&rsquo;m: 114.200.XX.XX:440ZZ</p> <p>The port was correct, but the ip was the buggy/malicious clients own.</p> <p>A Vietnamese &lsquo;uTorrent&rsquo; client (UTy\xA3) claimed that I was 192.168.1.1:440ZZ, which while it had the port correct, thought I was on an internal network.</p>
