Hi xianx,
I can take a few screenshots of my port based BitTorrent UTM Configuration and either post them here or send them to you via a private message.
As William said, as well as enlightened me with regards to not needing DNAT for SOCKS5, it's as simple as a Username and Password with a BitTorrent Client that supports proxy; Deluge, uTorrent, older versions of Transmission, etc.
This has actually changed my perspective toward SOCKS5 and has effectively convinced me not to return to a port based BitTorrent approach. I simply need to endure some traffic being reported as Skype (pet peeve) [:D]

William,
Would you be able to shine some light on DNSClosed proxy? I don't think it is necessary for my use case, however, I'd be curious to know what is involved. Thanks!
Cheers,
Kyle

I suppose that makes sense with regards to Skype. Seems like it would be nice to be configurable, however, I understand that sort of defeats the purpose.
In light of that, I actually wanted to mention that even when using a SOCKS5 Proxy, I'm still seeing an incredible amount of traffic on 51416, both UDP and TCP, which is the port I had previously DNAT'd for the BitTorrent Client. That being said, the traffic only touches the UTM, not the Internal Host, which validates that a DNAT isn't necessary (not that I didn't trust you). To that end, I wonder if it is wise, aside from tracking purposes, (even though you'd still be able to see SOCKS 1080 traffic per host) if in a multiple client scenario, to still use different ports for each client, or if using the default for each would suffice.
I'll happily start another thread for the DNS inquiry.
I've forced Authentication to ensure SOCKS5...I'm a stickler for ensuring only permitted users (me) can use it, in the off chance someone was allowed to access the Internal Network. I do not allow Guest Network access to that [:D]
