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.

DO NOT USE IPV6

Seriously, figure out how to configure it to NEVER use IPv6, make it so it doesnt default fail back from IPv4 to IPv6 for whatever reason!

ISPs are generally still able to serve cease and desist notices if you torrent via IPv6, it usually DNS leaks all over the place.

Use both of these sites to test and make sure your VPN configuration will not leak.

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.
