Use a layered approach. Have one container act as a VPN client and router. VPN off > nothing gets routed. Put your torrenting in another container that is behind that router.

I'm not using containers at the moment, can you link me to more info on how to set that up? Specifically asking for the VPN / router bit. Think I can figure out the basics of containers.
It's all just iptables (or nftables if you wanna get fancy). I don't have a specific guide for you.
What do you use as a torrenting client? Most popular ones give you the ability to choose a specific interface over which it will allow incoming/outgoing connections to other peers. Your ProtonVPN should have its own interface you can select from your client. That should make it much less likely for that to happen again if Proton crashes, since if Proton crashes, that network interface disconnects.
Using Qbittorrent, I didn't know about that feature when the leak happened, but its been enabled ever since.
That feature is the most important one. No matter what data is only sent through VPN
Disable ipv6 if you haven't already.
I'm pretty sure 1pv6 is disabled, I went rhoguh steps but I'm not 100% how to verify. Ipleak tests show falling back on ipv4 instead of 6, if that's any indication
Where did you disable ipv6? In your torrent app?
Asking because I'm new not because I can help, lol
I had to follow a tutorial, I believe there was a file or 2 that had to be edited with something specific. I'll try to find it for you when I'm off work.
Was it in qBitTorrent? If not don't worry about I'm sure I can find info for my os openmediavault
No, it was done through command line
Sorry to kind of hijack... But does anyone have any leak tips for this set up?
Omv.. Portainer with a stack of VPN (gluetun) + qBitTorrent.
qBitTorrent does not have the VPN set up in the software itself.
With my VPN it has separate servers for p2p but I don't know what to use for them to set up the VPN in qBitTorrent. Does it make sense to still use the VPN option in qBitTorrent?
Should I set another docker up with gluetun that the original gluetun runs through?
