Scroll down until you find "network interface" listed as a setting.Select Tools > Options, or use the shortcut Ctrl-O to do the same.Open the qBittorrent program on your system.Once you know the name of the network connection, you may set up qBittorrent to use it exclusively. There you find listed all network connections.Click on Network and Sharing Center on the next page.
Select Network and Internet from the selection menu.Select Control Panel Home on the screen that opens.Use Windows-Pause to open the Windows Control Panel.If you know that already, skip the following step. Here is what you need to do to configure the feature:įirst thing you need to do is find out how the network connection / adapter that you want qBittorrent to use exclusively is named. This can be useful to block torrent traffic if the connection to the VPN terminates, but also for other things like making sure that torrents are only downloaded or uploaded when the device is connected to a specific network adapter (say only when it is connected to Ethernet and not Wifi). Basically, what it does, is monitor a specific network connection to block all file transfers (up and down) if the network connection changes. One feature of qBittorrent, a popular cross-platform torrent client, is such a kill switch. While some services come with kill switches that prevent data transfers until the VPN connection has been established again, it is not the case for all and usually only available if you use a program provided by the VPN to connect to it but not if you use the operating system's build-in functionality to do so. VPNs are useful to improve your privacy on the Internet but like any other connection, they may disconnect from time to time.
