For qBittorrent Users!

We have noticed that some IP leaks can happen with qBittorrent while using a VPN.

To fix this we have 2 solutions.
-The first one is to use an older version of qBittorrent. Click here to download v3.3.16

-If you prefer to use the newest version, please apply these changes in the settings.


In qBittorrent, go to Tools - Options - Advanced and change the Network Interface from Any interface to the one OpenVPN is using.

Most likely it should be Local Area Connection but depending on your network setup on your computer it could be named differently.

To find the name, please follow the instructions below.


qbvpn2.png

1. Hit the Windows Key + X then select Network Connections


qbvpn3.png

2. On the Network Connections page, look under Advanced network settings and click on Change adapter options

qbvpn4.png

3. Find the one that says TAP-Windows Adapter V9.
In this case it is called Local Area Connection but it could be named differently on your end.

This is the one you want to select in the qBittorrent settings.
