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.

    I don’t have a great answer for you, but hopefully I can provide some ideas that I hope can get your ideas flowing

    1. Use a config file and use the built-in VPN configuration. Not very flexible, but you can be pretty confident it should work.
    2. Use some containers (with docker or podman) to set up a qbit and a gluetun container.
    3. Use the new version of the app for linux if you’re not already.

    Whatever you do, I hope you look into the option in advanced settings in qbit to a specific network interface so it only works through the VPN. Unfortunately you definitely right that the Linux app is a second class citizen :/
