Originally created by @ghost on GitHub (Jun 23, 2016).

Feature request:

Binding traffic to specific adapter, binding it to the TUN/TAP then no traffic will pass unless the VPN tunnel is active.

Why?

To prevent accidental usage of qBittorrent client, so that it never starts transfers WITHOUT VPN running first?

Check advanced options, please. The setting is there already. If it does not work for you, please clarify.

At advanced options I see:

Network Interface (requires restart)

Any interface
Ethernet
Local Area Network

At command prompt using command ipconfig /all
I see following:

Ethernet adapter Ethernet
Description: Virtual Adapter V9
Ethernet adapter Local Area Network
Description: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

So I want bind to:

Ethernet adapter Ethernet
Virtual Adapter V9

I also change VPN IP address (using different servers)
My internet connection has a static IP.

So set 'Network Interface' to the name of 'Ethernet Virtual Adapter V9', that is 'Ethernet'.

It works! Thank you. :-)

Still minor feature request.

'Network Interface' that includes adapter description field.
Or some other indicator that informs user, that all traffic is now going via VPN?

Do you mean a label in the status bar, for example?

Yes, that would be nice.
Also current outgoing/external torrent IP address displayed.

I see, thanks.
Is there way to make it show IP always in main screen?
Also resolved IP hostname & country of origin displayed of connection used at moment.
