That's what VPNs are there for! Ze German setup: gluetun and qbittorrent via docker, qbittorrent only going over gluetuns network.

This way we can return what we take tenfold and still come out on top!

As long as the VPN isn't a front for residential proxies and routing bot traffic over your endpoint, doing god knows what. If they've been heavily advertised at some point, they most likely are.

Yeah same, easy to set it up and has all VPN providers.

You can also bind qbittorrent to the specific wan interface created by the vpn so it won't seed or download if the vpn is off

It doesn't see the interface if qbit is running in a docker container. That's what gluetun is for.

I use a docker image that sets up Transmission+open VPN+kill switch. But I also Mostly download from private trackers anyway.
