Ultimately, I only want to use Proton VPN for torrenting and seeding, while not using Proton VPN for browsing the internet, using Steam and Discord (essentially everything else).
For Split tunneling in Proton VPN, should I use Exclude Mode to exclude Chrome, Steam, Discord, etc., or should I just use Include Mode to include qbittorrent?
If I use Exclude Mode, will I need to add (exclude) my IP address, so that I’m using my IP address for everything other than torrenting/seeding? Also, if I am using Include Mode, I don’t know if I need to manually add the IP from whatever country’s IP I connected to.
Thank you.
If you only want torrenting then include mode. Otherwise everything besides what you exclude is going to be going over the VPN which would be a pain in the ass to manage. You only need to add the torrent program itself. Make sure there isn’t a separate program for the UI and the actual torrent service.
