 So, just like µTorrent, qBitorrent is a torrent downloader. Pretty easy!
 
+## First, if you are using the VPN...
+
+Check if its running correctly. On your terminal, run:
+
+```bash
+$ yams check-vpn
+```
+
+If everything is working correctly, you should get a message like this:
+
+```bash
+Getting your qBittorrent IP...
+<qBittorrent IP>
+
+Getting your IP...
+<your local IP>
+
+Your IPs are different. qBittorrent is working as expected! ✅
+```
+
+If the check fails, you'll see a message like this:
+
+```bash
+Getting your qBittorrent IP...
+<your local IP>
+
+Getting your IP...
+<your local IP>
+
+Your IPs are the same! qBittorrent is NOT working! ⚠️
+```
+
+You should **always** run a VPN when downloading torrents! You can manually set your VPN here: [Advanced VPN settings](/advanced/vpn). You can come back here after you have fixed this!

 ## Initial configuration
 
 In your browser, go to [http://{your-ip-address}:8080/]() and you'll see qBittorrent's admin page. The default username and password are:

 - `stop`: Stops all the services gracefully.
 - `start`: Starts all the services.
 - `destroy`: Destroys all the services so you can start the configuration from scrath. ⚠️ Be careful! ⚠️ There's no going back after this!
+- `check-vpn`: Checks the IP of the qBittorrent service and compares it to your own IP. If they are the same, it's goign to warn you.
