VPN and qBittorrent not playing nicely (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been on and off been having issues connecting to seeds and peers for anything I download with qbit lately. I have ProtonVPN and I am connected to p2p servers, some torrents are stuck at 0(0) whereas some will be stuck at 0(2817).

I have made sure the port in qbit is set correctly and the interface device, along with opening the port on my router. Ultimately what seems to work is I have to change the port several times, change the interface to ethernet, then back to Proton, then a single download works. Any tips for a fellow pirate?

I just fire up the VPN and run it with default settings, minus the port forward within the VPN client itself. So far after a few days of having split tunnel off, it's still working. Proton did recently release an update, I may try turning it back on, as having VPN active without split tunnel breaks my remote connection outside my home network.
