Disclaimer: I know extremely little in regards to torrents and all the settings/verbiage. I have tried to do my own research but it's difficult when I can comprehend so little.

I have been downloading just fine with Private Internet Access VPN and Qbittorent. I decided to try out NordVPN since my renewal for PIA was coming up. After install of nord, setting up qbittorent split tunnel and kill switch, my torrents when started, immediately switch to Stalled. If I attempt to add a new torrent link, the Metadata information at the bottom just spins and spins and if I continue through adding the torrent, it remains on 0.0%, no seeds/leachers. I feel like this is an issue with my Nord VPN program since it was all literally working fine just prior to install. What could I be missing? I have qbittorent set to nordlynx (in one comment I read), qbittorent is added as an app to use VPN only through split tunnel, VPN is turned on and connected, the internet works... Any obvious suggestions? I dont know anything about proxies or socks or dns so I haven't touched those settings.
