How does this firm (or whatever it is) know I torrented something? My VPN app took a shit in the middle of a download and I think it exposed my IP to some “anti-piracy” bullshit firm that contacted my ISP. ISP emailed to let me know and to “not do it again”. How does this firm know about torrenting? Do they like watch these sites and hope someone’s VPN slips like mine did today?
Bind your torrent client to your VPN interface so that if the VPN loses connection for whatever reason, nothing downloads or uploads via your client.
I’m gonna need a lot of education before I start torrenting 🤦🏽♂️ I didn’t even know such thing existed. How do I do that?
I’m using qBittorrent’s web ui, and you get to the setting from Options (cog symbol)->Advanced tab->Network Interface. Figuring out which network interface is the VPN interface depends on your OS.
Ok, so I found that and changed it from “any interface” to “proton0”. So that means, now if my vpn is not connected, my qBittorrent won’t work anymore?
