An option is also to switch to docker (compose) which would allow you to VPN just the qbit container instead of your whole host machine. Recommend hotio, he has containers for a bunch of apps in this realm and has VPN support built in with pia support.

It’s on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts

I also have additional lists from firebog.net, and I use jacklul/pihole-updatelists to maintain it.

Thanks, looks like it’s on the Stevenblack list.

What domain do I can make sure it’s blocked?
