How do I bind PIA VPN to Qbittorrent? I can not find relevant correct info on the newest versions of each.
On windows 10 in the USA

If you can't find the interface, go into PIA's client and change the Protocol.
OpenVPN for example uses a separate interface, while Wireguard does not.
Just switch around the protocols and see if it pops up. Make sure to restart qBittorrent between tries.
The protocol should not affect your speeds.
(They do differ, and some are faster than others, but just for internet use we can say it's the same. Like if you were to push insane speeds, Wireguard would win vs. OpenVPN. But over the internet, no difference.)
