Hi All, recently installed and setup a ugreen NAS at home. I’ve been using protonvpn and qbittorrent to download files to my Mac, then transfer them to my NAS, since I added it to my network.

If I make the NAS the default storage in qtorrent, would the files still be downloaded via the vpn on my Mac and just stored it n the NAS or are they going directly to the NAS and bypassing the VPN?

I would like to cutout the step of transferring the files to the NAS once downloaded.
