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).

I’m currently using Proton VPN for torrenting, but sadly it doesn’t support using a kill switch if I’m already using split tunneling. I read that NordVPN can use both simultaneously, but I’m not sure if this is actually true. Should I switch VPN so that I can use split tunneling and a kill switch together?

Essentially, I only want to use the VPN for torrenting, and it would be nice to be able to use a kill switch for the torrent if it loses connection.

Thank you.

    Use Linux & the Android app Rethink while it’s still being funded by Mozilla (you never know). Easily configure your devices to split apps among different VPNs. If you know how to look around you can find public proxies. 😉 I would really not recommend trusting Proton, but I know Mullvad (also untrustworthy & visibly confined to west-friendly datacenters) makes it super easy by snagging all the files from the website, Proton might have something similar
