I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

I just can never wrap my head around getting Qbittorrent (Binhex) to work with VPN. I'm with Proton VPN and when I attempt to add it, it just won't actually download anything.. Works without it which ain't helpful!

If anyone has the skills/expertise, please help aha.

If you have qbitorrent installed and also your VPN is installed:

Open qbit Click Tools> Options> Advanced Change "Network Interface" drop down and click your VPN there.

Hope that helps

The free version of Proton VPN blocks torrents, fyi.

You're using the correct OpenVPN creds from your Proton dashboard, and the applicable nameserver/sIP addresses for the VPN endpoint and DNS lookup for Proton? If DNS lookup is failing, try setting it to 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1 and see if you get resolution.
