[QUOTE="Paco Smithereens, post: 12125, member: 236"] Before I set up a dedicated Linux box (VPN always on) to do this, I used to do all of my torrenting from within a Linux VM running on Windows 10. Wonder if I would have had the same problem. At this point - not just for this reason but for about two dozen others - I'm thinking of just going back to Linux, with a dual boot into Windows for the software I need to run on rare occasions. I was really pleased with the idea that Windows would become a rolling release thing, with Windows 10 as the last version. When they announced Windows 11, I just got dyspepsia. Then that thing leaked about trying to put ads in the File Explorer. Currently my torrent box boots up and immediately runs Firefox and connects to a site like ipleak to prove to me I'm on VPN before anything else runs. [/QUOTE]
