One thing I have had an issue with is torrent clients closing, by default for some reason, to the notification bar. If you are toggling on and off your VPN to avoid captchas or slow load times you should seriously consider turning it off.
On a similar note I stopped using Transmission because I read it has an issue with staying open after the user the attempts to exit the program.
qBitTorrent has an option to only use a specific network adaptor, which i use to only allow qBitTorrent to use my VPN
If you plan on using public trackers, then consider using the proxy settings in Qbt to connect to ExpressVPN's Socks5 proxy.
Isn't a VPN enough to protect me when using public trackers? I'm sorry it's been a long time since I've done this.
Just use the VPN. Proxies are inherently unstable and unsafe for torrenting, with a lot of leaks, causing providers to DMCA you.
Use private trackers and you shouldn't have to worry. VPN is good too.
