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
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.
