qBittorrent

Install/update @ 2019-11-08 (v4.1.9)

choco install qbittorrent

• Set its network adapter:
  • @ Tools > Options > Advanced > Network Interface
    • Select the VPN-client-specific adapter (e.g., TAP1 or PIA).
      
• Validate the IP shown ("External IP:...") at the Execution Log (tab). It should be the dynamic IP of the current VPN (e.g., OpenVPN or PIA client) connection, not that assigned per ISP (which is static).

ISSUE/FIX @ 2019-11-08

Upon resetting all my network adapters, qBittorrent would fail to download anything; the app's Execution Log (tab) showed message: "The network interface defined is invalid …".

Fix @ Tools > Options > Advanced > Network Interface, and select the appropos adapter; vEthernet (External Switch). It had switched itself to TAP1, perhaps due to the network reset.

UPDATE 2019-11-14: Do NOT use any adapter except that of VPN (TAP1). Validate (External IP: ...) at the Execution Log (tab). This should be the IP of the current (OpenVPN) VPN connection, not that assigned per ISP.
