Hi! Could you give me some details or a link that describes how to do that? I'd like to harden my install. Thank you! :)
in qBittorrent: Tools > Options > Advanced > Network Interface. That dropdown box should list things like your Wi-Fi connection, Ethernet connection, etc., including an option that sounds like your VPN provider. If you run into troubles, do an Internet search for "qbittorrent network interface" for various articles and guides.
Thank you so much! :)
In the settings panel, the Advanced section has a setting for network interface, with a drop down menu of your available network devices. Your VPN connection should appear as a separate device in the list. If you choose that, it will only send data through that device, so if you're not connected, it has nowhere to send data to.
The github only has a description of the setting, and doesn't really explain it any more than that.
Thank you so much! :)
