I don't to keep bugging you about it, but proton connects like three freaking networks, one is pvpnsomethingsomething, the other one is killswitch and the third is ipv6leakprotection. I chose all three and qbitorrent just stalls on each one of them :/
Sorry for the delay, just saw this.
So the "pvpnsomthingsomething" is most likely the name of the server you're connecting to, but if you're not using the paid tier for Proton it won't let you select servers that support peer to peer traffic. Sounds like that might be your issue if you're still getting stalled with that network connection selected.
Also, the killswitch and the ipv6 "networks" that it creates are just there to enforce the killswitch (ie. create a fallback dead-end network device if the VPN goes down) and to catch and dead-end any ipv6 traffic that might be leaking.
Got it. Thank you so much. I was testing protonvpn to see if it's any good. I'm going to get the plus version then and just start from there.
