You can check your real IP by disconnecting from the VPN and refreshing the page. The IP (in green with black background) under 'Torrent Address detection' should be the VPN's IP, not yours. In Qbittorrent, wait for it to say 'Downloading.' on the torrent labeled 'ipleak torrent detection' then switch back to the website. go to Under 'Torrent Address detection', click 'Activate' Click the magnet link and open it with Qbittorrent. Now we check if your real IP leaks through a torrent. If you went with either OpenVPN, select the one that includes the word 'TAP' Click OK, and restart the program. the second one is called 'network interface' - What this does: It makes qBittorrent only use one specific network interface (which could be a physical wireless card, a physical Ethernet port, or a virtual network such as your new VPN) Select 'IKEv2-SurfShark Connection' if you stayed with default. Now we set up qBittorrent to only use the VPN to download. It's like a backup incase you are forgetful. Go to Settings (at the bottom of the window) Select Advanced and then look for Protocol - the default is IKEv2, You can switch to OpenVPN (TCP or UDP) if you want. Install the connection software that is available on their website. That should be the only thing you ever have to pay for. SurfShark for 2 years is like $48 Dollars. Edge just seems to be faster than Firefox and Chrome for me. I've been doing variations of this for about 15 years.įirst things first, I use Microsoft Edge with uBlock Origin installed.
