Does anyone know how to run qbittorrent and protonvpn in a VM? When I try to run the qbittorrent setup app I get this message (image below) and I don’t see anything mentioning a VM in the qbittorrent [dot] org forum.

I am new to torrenting, so I don’t really know what to do. I figured/assumed that torrenting/seeding in a VM might be safer as it is another layer deep, and that it may help keep traffic separate (inside the VM: I’d be using a vpn and torrenting, and outside the VM: I’d not be using a vpn and just regular internet surfing). Is this possible?

Thank you.

    ProtonVPN makes it super easy - just a checkbox in options. But if you were to set up VPN yourself manually using OpenVPN configs for example, it’s very hard and error-prone. For me this is probably the most valuable thing in ProtonVPN client apps.
