Probably if you split tunnel the vpn connection from mullvad to your torrent application and not run the vpn for the entire laptop's network stack this could be done.
Alternatively, dockerize the entire vpn+torrent (+jellyfin) setup? That way the container gets the vpn but you can still access using your host ip for jellyfin.
Seconding dockerizing the torrent client with a VPN. My approach was using a gluetun container (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) and pointing qbittorrent to use that container's network adapter
can also look into haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn
it's transmission that won't run unless it's connected to the VPN
That's a cool kill switch implementation, thanks for the repo. I tested my qbittorrent setup by shutting down the VPN container and it stopped all network connections in the qbit container
