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.

i had all kinds of problems until i removed the vpn from the client. i setup a vpn container, and push all my private traffic over that.
setup a docker OpenVPN client like gluetun, connect to proton, set your local computer to use the container as gateway/dns
its not going to be point and clicky, and you should prolly get used to that for advanced stuff.
