qBittorrent 4.5.4 Kill Switch not working

macOS 13.5 using TorGuard 4.8.21 VPN client - qBittorrent 4.5.4 Kill Switch not working

Can you offer any suggestions for getting the "Kill Switch" option to quit qBittorrent 4.5.4 when It dis-connects from the TG VPN?

This used to work using the previous versions of macOS and qBittorrent, but not now. TG 4.8.21 does shut down Transmission and other BT clients, but not qBittorrent 4.5.4.

Not sure if this is a TorGuard, or a qBittorrent issue. I am thinking qBittorrent 4.5.4 as the earlier version did shut down with a VPN dis-connect.

thank you

Go into qBittorrent advanced settings, check Interface Binding, and set it to VPN.

If you can't see TorGuard VPN there, go into Torguard settings and change protocol. You need a protocol which uses a separate interface, such as OpenVPN. Don't worry, protocol changes nothing - speed wise - 99% of the time.
