a killswitch is a must-have in this case then
killswitch doesn't work because packets can still get through between the time when the VPN goes offline and when it activates, need to bind torrent client to vpn or have some firewall configuration to prevent non-vpn traffic
I use proton VPN and I have the Killswitch on, but it was the free version and the Windows version of proton VPN doesn't give me the option to choose the server. It chooses it for you (unlike the linux client which I use as my main most of the time). It apparently used a server that didn't support p2p and then the download "stalled". Checked around and found a little window hidden behind qbit torrent that said "your connection was disconnected because you used a server that doesn't support p2p". I have windscribe premium, but I've noticed that it has IP leak, so I'm just waiting for the subscription to expire and I'm not renewing, and have been testing proton
I suggest you to deactivate IPv6 also and force the killswitch.
Will do that. Thank you. Why is having ipv6 on bad? Just curious
There are VPN services which leak IPv6 addresses, so it's better if you disable it and I suggest you to use a private DNS service also.
So disable IPv6, force killswitch and implement secure DNS, you should be fine with that.
Thank you. I think I've seen how it gets disabled on Linux, so that's an easy task. I'll also install a firewall app for extra protection. Thank you
Good luck!! 👍🤞
Appreciate you
