for some reason the devs of stremio seem adamant about not adding a bind feature so im hoping theres an alternative of some kind that does have this feature or if theres an application that i can use to force it to not send any data if my vpn is not on.
I dont want to use a vpn with a killswitch because that impacts other applications
ideally a cross platform desktop application
I don’t use streamio, but if you use docker you can set it up a gluetun container to be the network for a streamio container. It’s a fairly simple setup and it’ll keep any container connected to it behind the VPN you set up.
Is there a nooby way to do this? Maybe a gui
I’m not sure about a gui but it’s pretty easy with docker compose. I can shoot you over a sample of my compose files and how I have it all set up. It’s just a couple files and a few commands and you should spend more time waiting for the containers to build than anything.
You can use a VPN client that supports split tunneling.
I believe the openvpn client does, and there’s also https://tunnl.to/
Tunnl looks perfect but sadly its windows only
Not an answer to your question, but how are you using stremio with a vpn?
I use stremio+realdebrid+torrentio. Realdebrid doesn’t, as far as I know, work while using a vpn, but if there’s a way around that I’d love to know.
It does work with VPNs that are approved.
