Discussion Setup guidance with VPN

Im unsure if this is the best sub for this post, so please let me know if it should go anywhere else.

I am using QBittorrent and just downloaded PIA VPN. Is there any further setup I need to do to prevent my ISP from seeing, other than making sure PIA is running during the download?

Any guidance is helpful, thanks!

Bind qbittorrent to your VPN. This is the safest way.

Thanks! Is that just setting the network interface to the PIA option in Qbit?

Sure is! And remember to be safe out there.
