I had a vpn that I paid for and I used qBittorrent and I put stuff on plex and streamed from my desktop to my tv via my home network. My ISP was complaining about what I was downloading. I just found out about “binding” qBittorrent to my VPN. Could that have been the problem, the reason why the vpn didn’t seem like it was doing it’s job properly? If so, do I bind the qBittorrent Network interface to my Ethernet (or whatever) and/or bind my desktop IP address to qBittorrent? Any other advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
If you google this you’ll find you’re going to bind the VPN interface to qbittorrent in the qbittorrent settings.
Thanks, it sound like I should first connect to my VPN and then check the IP address listed for my computer and then go in the qBittorrent settings and bind to that IP address (not my actual IP address).
No, just connect to the VPN and you will see it in the dropdown for bind interface.
If you’re not sure which one it is just look with the VPN disconnected and then connected… The new one will be the VPN.
