Ultimately, I only want to use Proton VPN for torrenting and seeding, while not using Proton VPN for browsing the internet, using Steam and Discord (essentially everything else).
For Split tunneling in Proton VPN, should I use Exclude Mode to exclude Chrome, Steam, Discord, etc., or should I just use Include Mode to include qbittorrent?
If I use Exclude Mode, will I need to add (exclude) my IP address, so that I'm using my IP address for everything other than torrenting/seeding? Also, if I am using Include Mode, I don't know if I need to manually add the IP from whatever country's IP I connected to.
Thank you.
Some people like to tunnel everything due to privacy concerns. I would argue that if speed is any concern you don't want to default to tunneling all your traffic so include would make the most sense for most people.
Basically this. It just depends what your VPN use case is. If its just to avoid DMCA notices include would be the way to go.
