sudo systemctl stop transmission-daemon.service

1. Open the settings.json file using your preferred text editor. For example, using the nano text editor:

sudo nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json

1. Under the "encryption" line, set the value to 2 to require encrypted connections:

"encryption": 2,

1. Save the file and exit the text editor.
2. Start the Transmission daemon using the command:

sudo systemctl start transmission-daemon.service

By doing so, you have set the encryption preference to require encrypted connections, thereby forcing encryption in Transmission.
