Personally confused on how to use a Raspberry Pi to pirate properly (beehaw.org)

Hello, I want to make it clear that I know how to use my raspberry pi 3b+, I know how to torrent, and I have a general idea how to bind qbittorrent to a VPN on linux.

My questions are this:

My Raspberry Pi is running Pi-Hole to help manage the entire adblocking, since my brother refuses to install one despite having 2 viruses in the last year.
My Raspberry Pi is also plugged into the router via Ethernet
I can install AirVPN, I can slowly figure out their terminal client

How do I make it so qBittorrent is binded to the VPN, but the VPN doesn't filter the DNS requests so my already slow internet into 1993 speeds.

Mainly just asking here, since reddit is dead to me, and I don't want to ask a discord.

I think pihole shouldnt slow down qbittorrent at all, but isnt pihole host using another DNS? Hopefully someone more experienced can jump in.

Anyway, use docker containers qbittorrent and gluetun. Setup gluetun for airvpn and bind qbit network to gluetun. Thats real killswitch. Alternatively you can set vpn in qbit settings, but double check is that 100% safe. Not all kill switch work like they should, and there is a risk of leaking home IP if VPN server craps out or maybe even on restart. There is also kill switch feature in airvpn client (eddie), but Im also not sure is it good as gluetun. Im using docker gluetun and qbit, just because lot of people recommend it

Also if you change VPN provider its super easy to just modify gluetun config instead of installing another client
