Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for torrenting? It’s nowhere near as simple as on Windows, from the looks of it.

    I’ve had a lot more luck running it in Docker with gluetun, along with qbittorrent in Docker. That way you can bind the whole qbit container to the VPN, which is basically bulletproof. All config options are available as Docker commands, you just need to use Proton’s website to check the server list and pick your favorite p2p-enabled server.

    It does take a little fiddling, but it’s solid once you get it running. Port forwarding works too, once you figure out how to enable it.
