    Better to just configure a firewall properly so that no packets can go outside of the vpn tunnel.

      How is that better? If you configure your firewall rules incorrectly, this protects you against that. This ensures you have no connection if your VPN isn’t on/isn’t working.

        Thats what the firewall rules do too, don’t allow internet connection if there’s no vpn connection.

        Firewall is a system-wide solution that always works, while qbt config relies heavily on the application implementing interface binding properly. Which it doesn’t fully btw.
