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.

        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.
