Hello! From the screenshot we can see that you did not enable Network Lock. Please enable it to prevent any possible traffic leak, including leaks caused by configuration errors like yours. In general you must not bind programs to the physical network interface: since the original gateway is not deleted in order to allow connectivity after a VPN connection is closed by the user, by binding to the physical network interface a process may bypass the VPN tunnel when Network Lock is not active and incoming connections arrive. Note that wrong binding will arise even from UPnP, NAT-PMP and any other "automatic port mapping" methods so make sure to disable such options from the torrent program. Anyway Network Lock will prevent traffic leaks even in this case. Check your torrent program settings against the following guide available in the FAQ section: https://airvpn.org/faq/p2p/ Kind regards

Personally I set up a privoxy proxy on a linux server, then set that server to run through AirVPN. I then use OmegaProxy plugin with firefox to specify which websites bypass the VPN and which use it.

You did not say what OS you use. For Windows I use the methods for traffic splitting described here: https://github.com/tool-maker/VPN_just_for_torrents/wiki/Running-OpenVPN-on-Windows-without-VPN-as-Default-Gateway You may find that too technical /overwhelming. Or just too much work. If not, then the script there for running SQUID HTTP proxy from Cygwin bound to the VPN IP interface (while keeping the original interface as the default) could be modified instead to bind to the real IP interface (while letting the VPN be the default). Then a browser/Firefox instance using SQUID would not use the VPN.

The only way, is to use a residential IP from a VPN company that offers that option as an addon.

Right. Well, have a look at Netflix' route announcements. Let us know when you're finished adding them all, because it's assumed any of them can be used. ❤️
