I opened qbittorrent without VPN accidentally but connected it while the program was STILL checking torrents actively, before main window even opened (checking torrents and percentage progress bar in small window).
By the time qbittorrent main window opened and connection status changed from RED “offline” to flamed or green (connected) and nodes were found and before download/upload had happened, VPN had already been active.
In essence did my IP leak to anyone who might monitor torrents in swarm or tracker, is it technically possible at this point during startup ????
