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.

    I’m pretty sure 1pv6 is disabled, I went rhoguh steps but I’m not 100% how to verify. Ipleak tests show falling back on ipv4 instead of 6, if that’s any indication

      Where did you disable ipv6? In your torrent app?

      Asking because I’m new not because I can help, lol

        I had to follow a tutorial, I believe there was a file or 2 that had to be edited with something specific. I’ll try to find it for you when I’m off work.
