So I’m pretty new to this, but have a Linux system set as a torrent box / emby server. I’m running protonvpn cli with permanent killswitch and qbittorrent set to use the VPN tunnel.

I’ve been running it for about a month now, but just found out I had a leak early August and got a copyright notice from my ISP. I’m pretty sure this is related to a lock up and crash of the protonvpn gui client, which was shit. I haven’t had any notices since, despite doing heavy downloading. I also did not have QBT configured to only use the VPN tunnel at that point.

My question is, is there anything else I can do to prevent leaks? It’s got me a bit sketched.

    Use a layered approach. Have one container act as a VPN client and router. VPN off > nothing gets routed. Put your torrenting in another container that is behind that router.

      I’m not using containers at the moment, can you link me to more info on how to set that up? Specifically asking for the VPN / router bit. Think I can figure out the basics of containers.
