The reason for the --interface usages on cURL is because I have the VPN routes unbound (you can see how in the sample.ovpn). In qBittorrent, I have it bind to the OpenVPN TAP network interface.
- So upon connecting to PIA with OpenVPN it requests port forwarding.
- It kills any active qBittorrent processes.
- It takes the port that was given by PIA and puts it into qBittorrent's settings as the incoming port.
- It starts qBittorrent.
- It renews the port binding every 14 minutes.
