qBittorrent network interface bind not working? (lemmy.ml)

I am using ProtonVPN, and have (or so I thought) set up qBittorrent to bind to the network interface that ProtonVPN is using (tun0). The connection symbol turns red if I turn off the VPN, and downloads will stop. However, when checking the torrent address on ipleak.net, it seems that this bind is not working properly - my real IP shows up after I have disconnected my VPN. I thought that there shouldn't be any connections made when traffic is not via the tun0 interface, so that my real IP should never be known by the detection tool. Am I wrong?

I have not configured the kill switch, but perhaps I should do so?

Are you leaking data via IPv6? That's a known issue at least with the default Wireguard configs, not sure about OpenVPN.

How could I check this?

[–] Molecular0079@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In ipleak.net, your ipv4 address will be VPN IP and your IPv6 will be your own.

Hm, I don't see any IPv6 addresses anywhere, even on https://ipv6.ipleak.net/

Ah then that's not the issue then. Weird that the qbittorrent interface bind isn't working for you. Maybe try Wireguard instead? Def set IPv6 to link local and add ::/0 to allowed IPs on the Wireguard profile.
