I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Thanks to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/ober found that ipleak.net can be used to check if you VPN is leaking your IP before proceeding with torrenting.

And also using Qbittorrent to tie the client to the VPN by going to Tools > Preferences > Advanced and changing network interface to your VPN.

For some reason i don't know ipleak.net won't load for me. These work too though: https://ipleak.org/, https://browserleaks.com/ip.

huh, works for me, detects my vpn. Is it blocked in your country or something?

I can't reach it on my Windows 11 computer when the vpn is turned on, but can reach it using Windows when the vpn is turned off (i tried servers in Europe, Americas, Asia).

But on my linux computer i can reach it with the vpn on or off (same vpn company, login, servers). So ... weird.
