CrashCrash Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) Received an email from IP provider stating that I was sharing a file. I checked my qbittorent with VPN on the site ipleak and found that the VPN IP is being provided as well as my IP. Both IP are showing. Mine is showing as ipv4. How do I prevent this?

You should go to Tools>Options in QBittorrent and then choose the Advanced option in the side panel. Change "Network interface" to that of the VPN. For example, this is how mine is configured. I've pointed it to the WireGuard network interface, named "wg-torguard", and this results in torrents refusing to connect or download in any way *unless* I have an active connection to the VPN. Picture below for reference. Never had any issues from ISPs with this method. Afer that's done and you've restarted QBittorrent, use this tool that TG provides to check your torrent IP. It should only show the VPN server's IP you're connected to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gderf Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Not enough information provided. What version of Qbittorrent and OS are you running and how is it configured in Settings | Advanced | Network Interface: and Optional IP address to bind to: ? Also, you should always be running one or more torrent IP checkers and if they report your real IP don't run any other torrents until you fix this. https://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php https://trak.evilvibes.com/ https://ipmagnet.services.cbcdn.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you!!... the only thing that I might add to this is that you have to have Torguard running when you go into the settings on qbittorent or it will not see the wireguard network. That's for any newbies like myself. Tried this again with ipleak magnet link and it only shows the torguard ip. thank you for the help and very easy to follow instructions. You're a godsend.

19807409 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 @StormyStorm if you followed what @Cytane89 wrote then you have set it up properly, just want to add few notes. Your vpn should not leak too. If you use original client or older torguard version, you might leak over IPv6. Your qbittorent is set up now properly, latest torguard client does route ipv6 traffic too, for own wireguard config use 0.0.0.0/0,::/0 instead of just 0.0.0.0/0 . Where ::/0 means ipv6 traffic is routed also over torguard peer ensuring that you do not leak. In general, disable ipv6 is the advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stioffan Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 The above solution has not worked for me. Namely when I go to advanced options in qbittorent I do not see Torguard as an option under "Network Interface" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Torguard is Not Running/Connected to a Server Location Then you will Not be able to see the Option in Qbittorrent Settings. Please Keep in Mind you Can always Contact @Support For Assistance Using the Ticket System , They Usually Reply Fairly Quickly >>> https://torguard.net/submitticket.php Here is a Picture of the Network Interface Option That is Listed when using "Wireguard" While Connected to the VPN. >>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
