There is no reason to use anonymous mode or disable those other options as long as your VPN is working correctly. Everything will be piped through the VPN connection and any peer or tracker will see the VPN server’s IP, not yours.

The only thing I recommend doing is setting the network adapter in qbittorrent’s advanced settings to the virtual one created by the VPN. This will ensure that no traffic accidentally goes through a non-VPN connection and exposes your IP.

It’s still not a bad system if you have to support and provide bugfixes for multiple versions of software. However, if you only support the latest version and only create bug fixes and features based on the latest release or main branch, then git-flow is way overkill.

I already moved to Linux, and I’m not going back.
