Wireguard and Qbittorrent?

Microfiche

I can't seem to get Qbittorrent working if I switch to the Wireguard protocol?
If I switch to Wireguard and try to download a torrent, it doesn't seem to connect to anything.
The second I switch back to OpenVPN it connects and starts downloading.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling PIA, and checking the Qbittorrent connection interfaces, I am stumped.
Browsing works fine using WireGuard, and I get decent speed.

Nothing? Just tried again after latest update. Exact same thing.

I just tested with Wireguard, Bittorrent V7.0, and I connected to a torrent. Downloading but it took a little time to connect to the SOCKS5 Proxy Server.

Might check your QBittorrent's configuration.

Hi, did you manage to fix the problem?

You probably have QB binded to OpenVPN.  Go to your advanced settings and change your Network Interface.

Nope - network interface is set to any.

I just tried again - I ran into some other problems with QBittorrent in the meantime and rolled back to version 4.2.5
I just tried it now, and the speed on a torrent using Wireguard went up to 2.3 MiB/sec and then dropped to a few KiB/sec and stayed there.
Swtiched back to openVPN and downloading at 10.0 MiB/s
Not using port forwarding - which I think I read can cause issues.

I use Qbittorrent 4.31 and Windows 10 PIA version 2.6.1. I set QB's network interface to bind to wqpia0. Torrenting works fine.

My question is whether this works like a kill switch. If I lose PIA connection, will QB stop downloading?

I will answer my question myself. I did turn off PIA and my qbittorrent client stopped downloading immediately. So, it is a kill switch.
