I just want to toggle the alternative speeds while Plex is streaming outside my house. I couldn’t find anything while looking around except for some old scripts that haven’t been updated in years.

      I agree with this. Torrents should have the lowest priority of traffic through your router. Also, sending torrent traffic through a VPN could be an easy way to control the speeds.

        Some private VPNs also support port forwarding so choosing to do so wouldn’t limit connections/peers

          Hi, but even if you send torrent traffic through the vpn the wan connection at home would be affected too, if I’m right.

                Yes, but it will also affect all other potential traffic on that computer.

                You could use split tunneling to only use the VPN for torrents and your normal network for everything else.

                If you are torrenting on a dedicated server or something then it shouldn’t matter much.
