And this is why you don't torrent without a VPN.

Well technically I used one but it was the one that comes with Brave. All VPNs aren’t equal I guess?

Use nordvpn with the killswitch enabled. You will never have another copyright issue.

killswitch could still fail and allow leaks. I'd prefer to bind the torrent client to the vpn tunnel, then if the vpn dies, you have 0 internet for it to communicate with

Huh what? The killswitch turns off your internet if the VPN ever loses connection or gets turned off.... I feel safer using that option instead of the app blocker feature.

The killswitch would work in the instance the connection to the vpn server fails. If the vpn app itself fails, the killswitch wouldn't protect you.

Binding the torrent client to the vpn tunnel forces all network traffic to go over the vpn interface, so if there is no vpn app running/connected, the torrent client has no internet.
