Ultimately, I only want to use Proton VPN for torrenting and seeding, while not using Proton VPN for browsing the internet, using Steam and Discord (essentially everything else).

I'm currently using Proton VPN for torrenting, but sadly it doesn't support using a kill switch if I'm already using split tunneling. I read that NordVPN can use both simultaneously, but I'm not sure if this is actually true. Should I switch VPN so that I can use split tunneling and a kill switch together?

Essentially, I only want to use the VPN for torrenting, and it would be nice to be able to use a kill switch for the torrent if it loses connection.

Thank you.

Yeah there is a lot of VPN astroturfing that goes on, and lots of comments do sound like ads (sometimes I even make such comments myself, and I've never been paid by anybody). But in this case the comment is literally just answering OP's pretty specific request with relevant factual information. It doesn't sound like an ad. Maybe it is, I can't confirm or deny that, but it doesn't sound like one.

I deleted the post because I misread the context. You're right, the post didn't sound like an ad. But so many do. My jumping to conclusions mat has been moved to the garage.
