Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

The problem: your IPv6 might not go through the VPN.

If you have IPv6, you're running two completely separate networks, one IPv4 and one IPv6. And a bad VPN won't block or VPN the IPv6 network.

ProtonVPN doesn't do IPv6 but they're working on it.
