Ubuntu server can't connect to some sites when qbittorrent is running (self.piracy)

Hey all, ran into a weird issue with my Ubuntu server running qbittorrent-nox I can't seem to figure out.

When Qbittorrent is running, I can't load some sites. How I discovered this was Jackett was failing tests to my trackers. Sometimes all trackers would fail, other times only a couple would.

From the server I ran a curl to the tracker URLs and confirmed they were not loading.

Pcap shows the TLS hello go out, but no response from the server.

Once I kill the qbittorrent process, everything works.

Wondering if anyone has any ideas or has seen this issue before.

Things I've tried:

Disabled ipv6
Changed Qbit UI port
Paused Torrents
re-installed openssl
rebooted about 150 times and counting

Qbit version is 4.5.5 Ubuntu 22.04.3 headless running on Esxi

Appreciate any ideas!

Edit: So after much frustration and some other weird things, restored to a previous snapshot and the issue seems to have resolved. Appreciate all the troubleshooting ideas and responses!

Were you trying to install a VPN kill-switch in iptables or something and mess up somehow? I did have an issue similar to this once, where I was firing up my VPN, not realizing it wasn't allowing multiple clients, and so my initial client would get kicked off and I'd have to reauth on the VPN to get connected again -- in my case I was split-tunnelling a wireguard connection, but could that be happening? Are you firing up Qbittorrent with some sort of VPN scripts and getting kicked off of your normal VPN connection?
