Qbittorrent Connecting To Internet When VPN is Off

[axel]

Using Qbittorrent v 5.2.0. I have Network interface set to Nordlynx, but QB is still connecting to the internet when the VPN is disconnected? I have tested this by entering a single word in the search box and it brings back a list of hits. I have tweaked several settings in QB as advised by Grok to try and bind QB to the Nord VPN to no avail. I used IP Vanish for years with no issues, so perhaps some of the settings are still tailored to IP Vanish? Should I uninstall QB and start from scratch with the default settings?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Post a screenshot of your qBittorrent network interface config.

I hope you're only downloading Linux ISO's

I have also taken a look at the ipleak site, but I have no idea what I am looking for or how it relates to QBT.

The bind looks good.

As for ipleak.net, find this section:

Click on 'Activate' and you'll see the following:

Click on the magnet link and let it open in qBittorrent. After a few seconds ipleak.net will display the IP in use by qBittorrent. The IP should match your VPN's IP. ipleak.net shouldn't show an IP if your VPN is turned off.
