    GUI to use wiresock in application mode

    I use a paid wireguard VPN with port forwarding and wiresock (via EPEXGui) to effectively split tunnel only my bittorrent client. It doesn't have a killswitch, per say, but my torrent client crashes when the tunnel goes down anyways, so it effectively does.

  • gluetun

    VPN client in a thin Docker container for multiple VPN providers, written in Go, and using OpenVPN or Wireguard, DNS over TLS, with a few proxy servers built-in.

    QBittorrent can run as a webserver inside Docker (https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/qbittorrent). Then you can use a Docker image named Gluetun (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) which routes all the connected docker images network traffic through a VPN (either self hosted or commercial).
