I'm gonna watch how your post is voted. I've gotten burned for that stance my entire life even though it's perfectly logical.
Don't really get the idea you aren't supposed to try stuff out without upfront payment. Slightly better now but meh.
Don't you worry though, any software I needed for business was all bought and paid for. I'm sure a few pennies got to the programmers / developers / artists that designed it. And i simply passed the cost on to my clients. Pretty obvious who wins here.
Then again I don't really get what this post is about, just replying to you.
Edit: is qbitorrent still cool? I mean uTorrent was cool till it wasn't. I never update it but I tried it out on Linux earlier this year and even with a VPN it leaked and i got a message from my ISP next day. That's likely on me and bad settings but just checking
You can tell qBittorrent to only use the VPN, and it kills any connection not using that tunnel.
I tested it with legal Linux isos and killed my VPN connection, and everything just stops.
So both the VPN service itself, and qBittorrent can be configured independently to protect you. Belt and suspenders.
But they say never wear a belt with suspenders!
Seriously tho hey late reply just wanted to say thanks, i never even thought to look into that. Seems to be the answer I needed.. a refreshingly simple solution!
I have to manage multiple VPN clients for various reasons and i get twisted up pretty easily. I'm sure that too is simple I just have a mental block on it. But yeah thanks again!
