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.

You can use a VPN client that supports split tunneling.

I believe the openvpn client does, and there's also https://tunnl.to/

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.
