Deluge BitTorrent Client

This is a really bad look, but I would think that if opsec is important to you, you won't have your proxy configuration in application level settings of a Python app. I think the people who would be concerned about this use system wide VPNs or seed boxes.

SOCKS is sometimes used as an additional layer to privacy. Stock system level VPN will continue without VPN if the VPN server somehow drops the connection.

If you are limiting the discussion to included stock VPN implementations, doesn’t that basically just include IPsec? Most secure third-party options will drop packets that aren’t destined for an encrypted tunnel, even while not running.

It's been a long time since I used Deluge and found that bug, but I think you're correct.

Nowadays I follow your advice and use a third-party option.

a system wide vpn doesn't always work. in some countries there are apps/websites that only work if they are accessed locally because they block access from outside.
