    I'm trying to find a new service that is specifically steaming-friendly, so that I can access Hulu, Netflix, Prime video, Disney+, etc, while still behind a secure vpn. I use Mullvad and AirVPN, but they are not streaming friendly. I am aware of ExpressVPN and NordVPN being streaming-friendly. I am sure there are other that I am not aware of. Anyone know of any that are also safe and secure?

    Okay, good. I tried them, but I'm having trouble connection to qbittorrent with it. Is there a secret to that? Every time I try to connect I get the red "disconnected" button in the qbittorrent status bar. Are you able to do it?

    I'm indeed able to do it. Have you tried PicoTorrent?

    That looks good. But I don't think I see the ability to bind to tap adapter, like in qbittorrent.

    Edit:

    There might be adapter binding, according to this, and there are these socks5 proxy instructions, which seem to work well. Also, NordVPN has an app kill feature. Be sure to add picotorrent to that.

    Personally, I've set my home network to a private network, and my VPN to a public network. Then I've blocked picotorrent.exe on private networks in the Windows Firewall :)
