    I don’t to keep bugging you about it, but proton connects like three freaking networks, one is pvpnsomethingsomething, the other one is killswitch and the third is ipv6leakprotection. I chose all three and qbitorrent just stalls on each one of them :/

    Thank you. I’m not that familiar with UFW, but I have used its UI app, GFUW. I’ll mess with it and figure something out. Does blocking outgoing traffic prevent others from seeing my IP address, or do I need to combine that with a rule that only allows connection to the VPN server?

    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 see. Also, could you please elaborate on the firewall bit? I’ve set up some rules on games that force data collection before where I just blocked the in and out on the game, but I don’t fully understand the "only allow connection via VPN). Do you have clear instructions on how to do that? A tutorial? And what does that do? Thank you, btw.
