I am using ProtonVPN, and have (or so I thought) set up qBittorrent to bind to the network interface that ProtonVPN is using (tun0). The connection symbol turns red if I turn off the VPN, and downloads will stop. However, when checking the torrent address on ipleak.net, it seems that this bind is not working properly - my real IP shows up after I have disconnected my VPN. I thought that there shouldn’t be any connections made when traffic is not via the tun0 interface, so that my real IP should never be known by the detection tool. Am I wrong?
I have not configured the kill switch, but perhaps I should do so?
I’ve tried staring with all my might at the different options in the hopes I might identify something. I did turn off the features suggested above in the comment field, but have still been unable to solve it.
I don’t understand why that guy suggested turning off DHT and Local Peer Discovery. It shouldn’t matter…If you have the client bound to the VPN interface, then that should be that.
