I am using ProtonVPN, and have (or so I thought) set up qBittorrent to bind to the network interface that ProtonVPN is using (tun0). The connection symbol turns red if I turn off the VPN, and downloads will stop. However, when checking the torrent address on ipleak.net, it seems that this bind is not working properly - my real IP shows up after I have disconnected my VPN. I thought that there shouldn’t be any connections made when traffic is not via the tun0 interface, so that my real IP should never be known by the detection tool. Am I wrong?
I have not configured the kill switch, but perhaps I should do so?
Huh? You shouldn’t need to do this? Simply binding to the interface should be enough. Can you explain?
Edit: yep just tested it. Everything works. No clue what you’re talking about. First I’ve ever heard of it.
