Trusted Wifi Networks #73

There should be a place to add a trusted network and not download or upload unless connected to it (also cellular would be its option).

You can restrict cellular from iOS itself; However, a notification you are on cellular might be useful though.

lonkelle commented 4 years ago

That's true. But I'm really trying to restrict WIFI here. Only trust certain wifi networks.

I already have iTorrent turned off in my cellular data settings so I don't use up any data. But my home network is the only network I want to "trust."

Any further looking into this since then?

XITRIX commented 3 years ago

Sorry, no progress.

@XITRIX What about if your app makes sure that one is on WiFi, that a VPN is turned on? That would also solve the issue. :)

XITRIX commented 3 years ago

Could you paraphrase it? Do you mean that app need to check if iOS connected to VPN or not?

lonkelle commented 3 years ago

Yes, a setting for "refuse connection if not connected to a VPN" is a huge thing for torrenting given the privacy and security implications that come with direct peer to peer connections like this protocol is.

Basically, if that setting is on (off by default) – your code would check that your phone is connected to a VPN and looks like it's decently easy to check with a simple function, full code provided here:

Thanks for code reference, I'll try to implement such feature.
