I have Mullvad and my torrent app isn't set to split tunnel. Is there any way to verify that traffic is going through Mullvad?

On an unrooted phone, you would have to use block connections without VPN. That's the only way you can tell for certain that traffic is going over the VPN and that the VPN torrenting connection is not intermittently dropping.

If the device is rooted, then you could do actual packet analysis via tools like tcpdump to actively check the traffic is routed to the tunnel.
