Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for torrenting? It's nowhere near as simple as on Windows, from the looks of it.

Something recently broke the client and now it says invalid credentials all the time. I gave up with the client and just downloaded the openvpn files and use those.

Torrenting works..

Interesting, I've only ever used the ovpn files and they recently broke the same way you describe. Redownloaded them and it started working again with the same credentials.

I'm guessing they broke something servers idea and the client had a hard time refreshing its config
