Qbittorrent Guidance
Qbittorrent Guidance
My last foray into Torrenting was when TWC was taken over by Spectrum and I was using uTorrent like crazy. We had Spectrum ONE week and I got a DMCA letter. This is the type of thing I'm trying to avoid.
Although I've found a lot of information on Qbittorrent, I would like to know from some long-time users what are the minimum things I must set within the client to be safe, discrete but also have a good Download/Upload experience. I am using ExpressVPN.
Thanks so much!

Bind your VPN adapter to the network interface inside Qbittorrent settings. If your VPN has a kill switch setting(only pass traffic on VPN) enable it. Run a DNS leak test.Find sources on the megathread. Don't use the pirate bay.
Thank you for the info! I've already enabled the Kill switch and I'm finding out from ExpressVPN what to put in the Network Interface inside Qbit. Also, why not The Pirate Bay out of curiosity?
It’s the Walmart of torrents, and it’s got more LEO than a New York Dunkin Donuts.

Ipleak.net will run a DNS test and has a magnet link to download and run to ensure your torrent client isn't leaking anything.

Honestly I don't know the ins and outs of how it all works, but I know the tool shows that leaks are not something I need to worry about.
