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?
Ah then that’s not the issue then. Weird that the qbittorrent interface bind isn’t working for you. Maybe try Wireguard instead? Def set IPv6 to link local and add ::/0 to allowed IPs on the Wireguard profile.

Are you leaking data via IPv6? That’s a known issue at least with the default Wireguard configs, not sure about OpenVPN.
How could I check this?
In ipleak.net, your ipv4 address will be VPN IP and your IPv6 will be your own.
Hm, I don’t see any IPv6 addresses anywhere, even on https://ipv6.ipleak.net/
