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.

Why are you downvoting losers lol??? They clearly are able to give your shit to police even if you pay them $50/year or something. You’re welcome, redditors

Only if you use ProtonMail. ProtonVPN is subject to different laws.

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.
