Network Interface Binding - feature request #1238

This is an advanced feature in qBittorrent client, you simply select a network interface from a dropdown list and the client will only make connections over that interface, so you can bind it to your VPN of choice. It is an excellent feature, and would satisfy the less technical VPN Guard kill-switch feature request made elsewhere.

I admit I do not know how complicated / difficult it is to implement, it seems on the surface like something that should be easy, built-in features in windows, but maybe there is a fancy library or custom function the qBittorrent people had to write to add that feature? If someone knows how to do it, would be great to add it to PicoTorrent!

You can do this if you edit the Listen Interface in Connection. Untitled
