Does Transmission let you force the use of a specific connection?
For example, qBittorrent lets you choose your VPN as its only allowed connection so that you can't accidentally use your regular network when not connected to the VPN.
Hi! Could you give me some details or a link that describes how to do that? I'd like to harden my install. Thank you! :)
In the settings panel, the Advanced section has a setting for network interface, with a drop down menu of your available network devices. Your VPN connection should appear as a separate device in the list. If you choose that, it will only send data through that device, so if you're not connected, it has nowhere to send data to.
The github only has a description of the setting, and doesn't really explain it any more than that.
Thank you so much! :)
