Does anyone know how to run qbittorrent and protonvpn in a VM? When I try to run the qbittorrent setup app I get this message (image below) and I don't see anything mentioning a VM in the qbittorrent [dot] org forum.
I am new to torrenting, so I don't really know what to do. I figured/assumed that torrenting/seeding in a VM might be safer as it is another layer deep, and that it may help keep traffic separate (inside the VM: I'd be using a vpn and torrenting, and outside the VM: I'd not be using a vpn and just regular internet surfing). Is this possible?
Thank you.
Regardless of where you decide to run your VPN (normal system, VM, or container), just don't forget to turn killswitch on in the VPN settings. ProtonVPN is very good at this. They have killswitch built-in in all their client apps. And it's quite a tricky thing to configure manually.
Thank you. Do you mean even with ProtonVPN it is hard to configure?
ProtonVPN makes it super easy - just a checkbox in options. But if you were to set up VPN yourself manually using OpenVPN configs for example, it's very hard and error-prone. For me this is probably the most valuable thing in ProtonVPN client apps.
