![]() ![]() (Linux-specific differences of the guide) You will find guides online how to do that in your client or just look in settings. (Windows) ping, tracert (IPv6-only, WTF?), curl and wget, and many others, including your favorite torrent client ![]() The OS handles the rest.Įxamples of programs that can bind to user-defined addresses include: Oh and you don't need to change the IP once the VPN connection changes to another server. ![]() In a broader sense, you want to 'bind to a network interface' - your client will use any available IPs from the VPN interface - making it ready for IPv4 and IPv6. This is the next best bulletproof solution (the only better alternative is to use an intermediary VPN device, as any software could choose a different interface now to communicate with the internet). The OS will deny any communication with the internet: boom! Here's your praised 'kill switch' and 'split-tunneling', 2-in-1. If it cannot use the IP (when VPN is disconnected) then it will not be able to do any networking at all. Here's the technicality: this is called 'binding' - you can 'bind to IP' which will force the app to use a specific IP address and nothing else. Many users (aka mostly idiots on Reddit) are running in circles like qBittorrent is the only client (or probably the only application in the universe, unconfirmed) that can be set to use a certain VPN. This was not intended for this guide nor with AirVPN, it's finicky and I wouldn't recommend it myself without a real need and skills to automate the setup and configuration. In essence, your traffic passes PC->VPN1->VPN2->Destination. With the knowledge and methods from this guide you will be able to daisy-chain multiple VPN servers. A Staff member actually posted a good first comment there, that's what we're gonna do. The other guide by NaDre is old (2013), hard to read and pursues a slightly different approach. Since there'll be a lot of text, sections titled in (parantheses) are entirely optional to read. Android clients are probably too limited for this task and lack options we need. Specifically, net_gateway placeholder may not available and that's all there is to it. It was made with examples from Windows, but with Linux/BSD you will only need little tweaking to do. The method however is universally applicable. The guide is applicable to all VPN providers who don't restrict their users to use the OpenVPN client. The apps will still use your default DNS for hostname lookups (secure your DNS separately!) Nobody, not even peers on LAN, will be able to connect to your torrent client (the only way: through the VPN connection) - eliminating unintended leaks fail-free "kill switch" functionality (actually better than 98% of VPNs out there)Ĭontinue using another VPN as primary or don't reroute any other traffic at all.Please read this notice before applying the guide This guide will explain how to setup OpenVPN in a way such that only select programs will be able to use the VPN connection while all other life continues as usual. ![]()
