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 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 :/
Sorry for the delay, just saw this.
So the “pvpnsomthingsomething” is most likely the name of the server you’re connecting to, but if you’re not using the paid tier for Proton it won’t let you select servers that support peer to peer traffic. Sounds like that might be your issue if you’re still getting stalled with that network connection selected.
Also, the killswitch and the ipv6 “networks” that it creates are just there to enforce the killswitch (ie. create a fallback dead-end network device if the VPN goes down) and to catch and dead-end any ipv6 traffic that might be leaking.
