Do not use qBittorrent, it'll leak your real IP by default even when you're connected to VPN

The torrent client shouldn't actively bypass my VPN though. My VPN is setup to have split tunneling off. As far as I can tell, no other torrent client bypassed my VPN and announced on my real IP.

I agree, thats a terrible default behavior on the client. I guess I know qBittorrent can't be trusted now

Yea, it's just a heads up. I was surprised by this when I checked the torrent IP, since no other torrent clients I've used do this.
