What i found to work the best is to generate and download a config file, then import it into NetworkManager. There's a plugin for wireguard here: https://github.com/max-moser/network-manager-wireguard
This way, it's easy to add routes, autostart, etc. But I don't think a safe killswitch is possible.
Edit: But since this is a piracy community, i should mention that qbittorrent has a setting for specifying the network interface, so it's easy to force it to use the vpn connection only, in place of a killswitch.
As far as I know, proton doesn't allow port forwarding, so makes using it for torrenting suboptimal. If you want to use torrents with a VPN, there's better options
PF works with proton, I use it. But you have to continuously call it to stay open. (On linux)
Yeah, it's a bit annoying and really should be built in to the CLI or GUI apps.
It does allow port forwarding. The Windows app supports it. On Linux, you can do it via a one-liner script: https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding-manual-setup/
