Description

It would be great to be able to specify the interface being used for a tunnel. Probably the best way to implement this is to assign it to a profile. Great for machines with multiple ethernet or eth and wifi.

Why? Can you describe situation when you need this?

  • version set to 1.0.

Let's say that I'm on my laptop and am on Ethernet and Wifi. Maybe the ethernet is local (e.g. not on the internet) but is listed above the airport in the network preferences. Or perhaps the machine has 2 ethernet cards and one would like to specify which one should be used.

The only situation when AlmostVPN "care" about particular interface, is when it creates "alias" addresses. This is how AlmostVPN determining which interface to use 

netstat -rn | grep default | cut -c 65-

As you can see, it does not depend on "order" in which interfaces listed. Instead it takes interface used in default route. In any case, "alias" addresses are visible only to your local box and it should not really mater which interface they attached too (except lo0: because Bonjour will ignore addresses on lo0: interface ).

Why did you raise this question? Have you run into some particular problem?
