Private Internet Access

Get proton, pia, airvpn, torguard or any other vpn that allows port forwarding. This is your limiting factor. Also look how to bind the vpn interface to qbittorrent from advanced settings.

Also, nordvpn doesn’t allow port forwarding, you should chose another vpn like proton or pia. If you don’t forward your po

Get a reputable client, qbittorent is what I use and it works great. Combine with a reputable VPN that has port forwarding (I know of PIA and Proton, but there's probably more).

They've been quietly making this change for the last couple months and only a handful of people here have brought it up... https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivateInternetAccess/comments/1taw5pa/while_connected_to_pia_i_have_multiple_exit_ips/ and https://www.redd

I've been running PIA for years now with no issues. I run it from Windows Server 2025 and qbittorrent installed. Also, I run it with a split tunnel and have only qbittorrent run through the VPN. So far, after many years and GBs, everything is good.
