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.
