I've been on and off been having issues connecting to seeds and peers for anything I download with qbit lately. I have ProtonVPN and I am connected to p2p servers, some torrents are stuck at 0(0) whereas some will be stuck at 0(2817).

I have made sure the port in qbit is set correctly and the interface device, along with opening the port on my router. Ultimately what seems to work is I have to change the port several times, change the interface to ethernet, then back to Proton, then a single download works. Any tips for a fellow pirate?

Are you on Arch? Because I am facing the exact same split tunneling issues using PIA VPN

Of course not, he would have announced it already if he was

🤣but seriously. PIA VPN announced that their split tunneling broke with some changes in the newest kernels/distro packages and said they will look into it
