I sometimes disable my VPN (Mullvad) in order to get better latency or just when it isn’t working properly. However, if qBittorrent is ever open in the background, it starts downloading things when connected without any VPN to my WiFi network.
How do I prevent things from downloading in qBittorrent when I’m not connected to Mullvad (or some other VPN)?
The FAQ of this sub has instructions on how to do this.
1st rule of torrenting: Never ever turn off the VPN. Never.
2nd rule: see rule #1
3rd rule: if speed is of concern on other apps, get another box!!!
Some may say bind qbit, fuck that!!! I bind the box!!!
Almost 90% of people that get caught is either they don’t know what they’re doing initially or
#1 they turned off the vpn and uploaded something by mistake!!!
Fuck that!!!
I run 3 boxes all of which 1 box is my go to for qbit. up and running/seeding…
The other 2 have qbit ready but stopped (if you know/ you know) and their ip gets routed to vpn via vlan.
Scripts get broken all the time!!!
Thanks. I had to go to the FAQ of this sub, look at the comments, go to another sub, and then find the FAQ cross posted as one of the older posts on that sub.

For sure, seems like there was some drama going on but I didn’t really stick around to do research into it
