I like to run qBittorrent on a Linux laptop to try and minimize the risk of Microsoft tracking what I’m doing and to protect my main system from viruses. I’m having an issue with it though. When I go into Advanced and select Network Interface, Proton VPN is not an option there. I only get lo, eno1, wlp4s0, ipv6leakintrf0, and tun0.

How can I get it to bind to the VPN so that I don’t have to worry about it freaking out and sending unencrypted data through qBit?

EDIT: I also tried torrenting Ubuntu and killing the VPN just to test it out. It didn’t stop downloading and uploading when I did that.

    Yes. But people are allowed to make their own informed choices for themselves. I’m not here to tell people what risk is acceptable for them.

      Well yea I’m clearly in agreement with ya since I only told OP this due to them expressing a worry abt privacy, they deserve to know. I almost began shoving instructions for switching to Linux down their throat haha
