Can't bind Proton VPN to qBittorrent on Linux (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I like to run qBittorrent on a Linux laptop to try and minimize the risk of Microsoft tracking what I'm doing and to protect my main system from viruses. I'm having an issue with it though. When I go into Advanced and select Network Interface, Proton VPN is not an option there. I only get lo, eno1, wlp4s0, ipv6leakintrf0, and tun0.

How can I get it to bind to the VPN so that I don't have to worry about it freaking out and sending unencrypted data through qBit?

EDIT: I also tried torrenting Ubuntu and killing the VPN just to test it out. It didn't stop downloading and uploading when I did that.

Oh yeah I heard that part already, it's more abt the org being compromised. WIRED regularly publishes articles that are clearly in coordination with the state department, by the way.

I'm too noided about this stuff, I have no reason to talk shit about Mullvad other than the locations of their servers and knowing that feds have high level wiretaps at datacenters that pretty much none of us can get around, and I'm still talking shit about them

Go listen to feds talking about their training in "physical penetration" if you want to know more lol. They go brag about this shit
