  • That’s been the general understanding but may not be true. Up until 2016, America has relied on the government respecting the conventional way a lot of things are done. But there have been the occasional deviation.

    It was controversial when Ford pardoned Nixon for not specifying what he was being pardoned for.

    Last year Biden pardoned his son to protect him from possible persecution by a future government, also controversial.

    Who knows, maybe Trump will shit out a tweet tomorrow declaring these idiots are completely innocent of any crime. Any challenge to that would need to be heard by the Supreme Court. Would the current Supreme Court intervene, I doubt it.

    Your simple, one sentence question had given me way too much to think about.





  • If it was Windows, it would simply be a matter of configuring the Split-tunneling options in the mullvad app and it would work the way you want, but on to use the split tunneling feature in mullvad on linux is a bit clunky and doesn’t remember your settings so it annoyingly needs you to manually whitelist each app everytime you load it up.

    What I do is I run mullvad in a gluetun docker container on my nas and have the environment variable “HTTPPROXY=on” set.

    Then, I connect apps on my desktop computer to gluetun by going into the network settings of whatever app I want to route through mullvad and set the proxy settings to “HTTP proxy” <nas ip>:8888. I use these proxy settings for things like FreeTube and one of the web browsers i have installed that I want to use only with a vpn.

    This will work if you set the http proxy setting in qbit, but if you are going to the trouble of setting up docker, you may as well have qbit running in a docker container too.

    Maybe the best option for you is to install docker (even if you don’t have a server or nas, you can run it on your desktop), and run gluetun and qbit in docker containers, this will auto start on boot running headless in the background and the vpn wont interfere with the rest on you computer.


  • There are 2 methods:

    First method is to open preferences in qbit, under Advanced > Network interface, select “wg0-mullvad” from the drop-down menu. The interface might be named something different for you, but it should stand out as pretty obvious which one to select.

    Other method is in qbit > Preferences > Connection, under “Proxy Server” select “SOCKS5” from the drop-down, input 10.64.0.1 as the host and 1080 as the port.

    You could even do both these options at the same time if you like, there is absolutely no downside. It’s like wearing 2 condoms except it feels the same as wearing nothing at all.
