VPN and qBittorrent not playing nicely (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been on and off been having issues connecting to seeds and peers for anything I download with qbit lately. I have ProtonVPN and I am connected to p2p servers, some torrents are stuck at 0(0) whereas some will be stuck at 0(2817).

I have made sure the port in qbit is set correctly and the interface device, along with opening the port on my router. Ultimately what seems to work is I have to change the port several times, change the interface to ethernet, then back to Proton, then a single download works. Any tips for a fellow pirate?

I'm in windows with SurfShark and qBittorrent. I sometimes have to close out qBittorrent and disconnect from the VPN. Sometimes that doesn't work and I have to reboot the laptop. That normally fixes the problem for me. I tried looking at the ports and forwarding and interfacing but those seemed to do nothing to fix my issue. I have a feeling that it is the network drivers and/or the hardware itself.
