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.

iirc tun0 is what youre looking for. it stands for 'tunnel' as in a network tunnel like a vpn.

been a while though, so you may want to wait for a second confirmation

Yeah that's what OP wants.

Yep, that's what it is on my system using Surfshark with OpenVPN.

Yes, that is what I do with the same setup
