Hi
I am trying to make my torrentclient on my linux server to go through my openvpn client (pia) on my asus router and I only want my torrent client to use the vpn client.
Will it work to make ip aliases on my server like this:
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.42
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
auto eth0:0
allow-hotplug eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.1.43
netmask 255.255.255.0
Then I bind my torrentclient to 192.168.1.43.
And then on my router I use the script (VPN_Select.sh) Martineau made and bind it to 192.168.1.43.
Will I also have a "fail switch" since my torrentclient is using 192.168.1.43 and if it loose connection to the ip alias it will be disconeted?
Thanks
