On Linux, run the command windscribe firewall auto to return it to automatic mode. Once all that is complete, you can disconnect from the Windscribe VPN and disable the Always On Firewall in the Preferences again.You don't want it running to reduce the risk of any torrent traffic leaking through your own IP. Finally, completely shut down the torrent client, usually by going to File > Exit or something similar to that.(If you want to keep uploading over the VPN, skip steps 4, 5 and 6) Once downloaded, remove the torrent from the torrent client (right-click torrent > Delete/Remove) so that you are no longer acting as an upload node for that particular file.Add your torrent file to the download list and download the file.Don't open it until the VPN is connected as that can put you at risk of leaking your IP.
Connect to a VPN location, wait until you see the CONNECTED status in the app and only THEN open your torrent client.On Linux, the command to do this is windscribe firewall on Enable the Always-On Firewall by going to Preferences > Connection and choosing Always On for the Firewall Mode.The correct steps to take are as follows: Using these two features should prevent your ISP from ever knowing about any torrent traffic. All traffic has to go through the VPN tunnel in that case.Ĭombining the two, your connection is as secure and anonymous as it can be. Along with that there is also the Always-On Firewall feature which essentially forces you to use the VPN or else you won't have internet. That's it, unless they have cracked the highest level of encryption somehow, they won't know what you are doing. When connected to the VPN in the desktop app, all your traffic is encrypted and your ISP is only seeing a garbled mess being transmitted to and from Windscribe. We give users as much as we possibly can to secure their internet connection.
