Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting? - eviltoast

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for torrenting? It’s nowhere near as simple as on Windows, from the looks of it.

    You must have made a mistake somewhere, as once I close the Proton VPN client (actual “close”, as in the app is not running anymore) my qBit does stop downloading (just tested), although the rest of the system still has access to the network (must have something to do with how apps are installed on Linux, I guess).

    In my qBit settings > advanced > network interface I read “tun0”, and that’s what I think was suggested in the official setup guide on Proton. What do you have?
