When VPN drops, torrents don't immediately stop

Post by emanresu »

Hi,
I have binded my network interface to my VPNs interface and when my vpn connection disconnects, the torrents do stop but not immediately.
I read as to why pausing a torrent doesn't stop it instantly but I was wondering from the perspective of IP leakage, would it be an issue?

Possibly irrelevant details:

Ran in terminal beside qbittorrent -
while true
do
    wget -qO- http://ipecho.net/plain ; echo
    sleep 1
done

after disabling interface, wget output instantly started outputting my direct IP and this ticked about 9 - 10 times before the torrent upload and download hit 0

only tested once on one torrent




Thanks!
