Overview

Why?

This allows you validate your VPN or proxy is functioning as expected and masking your real IP address.

How does it work?

This Torrent contains a single HTTP tracker. The tracker returns a failure response to any request but includes your IP address as part of the failure reason.

To update the IP address you just have to reannounce to the tracker. Your BitTorrent client should allow you to do this. For example, in qBittorrent you just right click the torrent and select Force reannounce.

Here's a screenshot from qBittorrent:
