Does anyone know how to run qbittorrent and protonvpn in a VM? When I try to run the qbittorrent setup app I get this message (image below) and I don’t see anything mentioning a VM in the qbittorrent [dot] org forum.

I am new to torrenting, so I don’t really know what to do. I figured/assumed that torrenting/seeding in a VM might be safer as it is another layer deep, and that it may help keep traffic separate (inside the VM: I’d be using a vpn and torrenting, and outside the VM: I’d not be using a vpn and just regular internet surfing). Is this possible?

Thank you.

      Preferences -> Advanced -> Network Interface

      Then select the VPN connection. That’s what I do for qbittorrent. Not sure about other programs.

        My VPN connection appears to change whenever I connect, because it’s connecting to the quickest server, so I am not able to use the same settings in qbittorrent. How do you manage server shifts like that?
