Hello, I want to make it clear that I know how to use my raspberry pi 3b+, I know how to torrent, and I have a general idea how to bind qbittorrent to a VPN on linux.

My questions are this:

  • My Raspberry Pi is running Pi-Hole to help manage the entire adblocking, since my brother refuses to install one despite having 2 viruses in the last year.
  • My Raspberry Pi is also plugged into the router via Ethernet
  • I can install AirVPN, I can slowly figure out their terminal client

How do I make it so qBittorrent is binded to the VPN, but the VPN doesn’t filter the DNS requests so my already slow internet into 1993 speeds.

Mainly just asking here, since reddit is dead to me, and I don’t want to ask a discord.

    Check if airvpn client has a Killswitch option.

    Are you using docker? If so, you may use gluetun or run the vpn client inside the qbittirent container

    Also, some vpn provide adblocking. So, another way would be… skip pihole and just use raspAP to create a WLAN where all devices connect. You may even turn off your router wifi and rename the newly created WLAN so that your brother doesn’t even know ;)

    I haven’t tried it really, but maybe there are tutorials.
