Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for torrenting? It's nowhere near as simple as on Windows, from the looks of it.

I don't know what to do with port forwarding if I can't even start my app.

App works fine on my side, panel extension and all. Sounds like a PEBKAC problem

Oh well, if it works on YOUR side that's it. Problem solved. Next time it's the first thing I'll tell to the support. I'll just show this message and all will be solved. Mate you made my day eh..
