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
You can use a VPN client that supports split tunneling.
I believe the openvpn client does, and there’s also https://tunnl.to/
