Do I need to have the application open/the VPN connected when using the firefox extension and being connected with that? So if I were to cut the connection in the programm, would that affect the extension on firefix? Also, do I need to keep the programm open/connected if I have qbittorrent linked to proton or does it automatically start proton when torrenting something?
- If you’re connected to browser extension you don’t need the app connected to the vpn for your browsing needs
- Qbit won’t be able to start proton. You can enable proton to start on system startup. Also, please bind your qbit to proton interface. Very important!
Hello, the application is a slightly better protection than the Firefox extension, if you want to connect only one, connect the application so all the traffic from your computer is obfuscated in a single tunnel.
But anyway, it won’t hurt if both are connected (then your traffic in Firefox would hop by both servers).
