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?
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?
Exactly, it will now only be able to access the Internet via that interface even if proton is running but not actually connected.
I don’t to keep bugging you about it, but proton connects like three freaking networks, one is pvpnsomethingsomething, the other one is killswitch and the third is ipv6leakprotection. I chose all three and qbitorrent just stalls on each one of them :/
