My ISP sends me letters even if I am torrenting on VPN. Is there anyway to make my traffic not look like torrenting?

Also asked them if torrenting legal stuff is allowed and they said no.

Review your VPN config, it's leaking some traffic. Enable it system wide with a kill switch.

Last I tried was with mullvad and it had a system wide Killswitch.

Do you get specific letters about files you have downloaded, or generic letters about you using torrent?

If the first, something is wrong with your setup. Mullvad should be fine.

If the latter, it might be only your DNS setup is leaking and your isp sees the domains you are connecting to.
