qbittorrent can do this, and its what I use.
not sure if its the best nowadays but it works really well for me.
Docker with a gluetun container. This container's only role is to connect to my VPN provider. Any traffic I want through the VPN is set to use that container as its network. If the VPN goes down, gluetun loses connection, any container attached to gluetun can no longer access the internet.
I use a qbittorent docker container for my torrent client but you can attach whatever client you're comfortable with, as well as any other container you prefer be on a VPN.
While qbittorent has a built in kill switch, this works for everything. No VPN means no connection, period.
Been using QBittorrent for longer than I can remember now. It certainly does everything I have ever wanted from it.
I use this Docker image of Transmission that has a built-in VPN configuration. That way only the torrent traffic goes over the VPN and it starts automatically.
