Encephalotrocity

I’ve never had an issue with it. I don’t use qbit’s “restart on boot” setting, but rather use my OS’ ‘start apps on reboot’ feature with a minute delay that ensures the network is connected, with VPN on, and stabilized. /shrug

Make sure qbittorrent doesn’t run on startup, it’s in settings

In Advanced settings there’s the ability to bind to a network. Bind to the vpn and qbittorrent won’t work at all without the VPN engaged.
