I’m a long-time Transmission user but I just learned that VPN killswitches are a thing (how did it take me so long!?). I would like to try another client which has this feature in case I forget to launch my VPN client before opening Transmission. Does anybody have any recommendations? Deluge? QBittorrent? Or any others?

    I would not rely on Nord’s VPN killswitch. It can be slow and unreliable and still briefly expose your IP to the swarm. I got an ISP letter thinking I was protected through nord’s killswitch, but turns out it was not completely covering me.

    I would bind the client to the wireguard network interface directly through the client. In Qbittorrent you can do it pretty easily as @CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml mentioned.
