Under Linux you can run transmission as another user and have an iptables rule to only allow outbound traffic through a specific interface.
- remram 4y agoOr as your user in a cgroup, probably.
- megous 4y agoOr just uidrange based policy for a separate routing table that just routes to the VPN. Just one thing to set up.
- colinsane 4y agoyou don't even need the extra user: use a network namespace. - ip netns add vpnonly # create an empty namespace - ip netns exec vpnonly wg quick ... # connect to your VPN later, launch transmission inside this namespace: - ip netns exec vpnonly transmission has the nice property that as long as you do that exec step right (or even half right), the failure mode is no connectivity rather than accidentally sending traffic in the clear.
