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.
- bartvk 4y agoSOCKS 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.
- dvzk 4y agoIf 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.
- bartvk 4y agoIt'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.
