Or if you’re running qBittorrent (either the full version or the server-only one which is probably best for a server machine) you can just bind it to the network device of the VPN (in Tools->Options->Advanced->Network Interface) and it will only ever run over that interface so when the VPN is down it won’t upload or download because that network interface is not present.
This actually makes much more sense in a Pi since the qBittorrent server-only version installed directly without a container is way lighter than the Docker version and can be managed remotely via a web interface so it will leave a lot more free resources in an SBC like the Pi.
bind the client, but also be sure that it’s locked down to force everything to go through the VPN as well
preferrably with a VPN that will continue blocking traffic even if the entire VPN client is closed
Gluetun in docker is Our friend. If you run a small Homeserver on a pi for example

I use a VPN for the full subnet, plus VPN server so I can access it all when traveling.
Not as instant as Netflix, but a much wider catalog.
mullvad works with tailscale
and if anything you try to access blocks connections from mullvad, proton is almost as good
Never managed to get Mullvad and Tailscale to work. I have both now at router level now
yeah I don’t know how they’re supposed to work together either.
