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).

I'm currently using Proton VPN for torrenting, but sadly it doesn't support using a kill switch if I'm already using split tunneling. I read that NordVPN can use both simultaneously, but I'm not sure if this is actually true. Should I switch VPN so that I can use split tunneling and a kill switch together?

Essentially, I only want to use the VPN for torrenting, and it would be nice to be able to use a kill switch for the torrent if it loses connection.

Thank you.

Containers are little virtual machines (Docker, LXC, etc) that run a specific tool or group of tools.

Like having a little VM that Rand just qbitorrent, and you would access it via the webui rather than the desktop client.

Short version, dont worry about that for now, just bind your torrent client to the network interface of the VPN itself.
