How can I force Sabnzbd to use only VPN connections? (Linux)

Post by yumgum »

I'm using Linux Mint with VPN connection. I want Sabnzbd to stop downloading when the VPN connection fails and resume downloading when the VPN connection is re-established. In other words, I want to make Sabnzbd use only VPN connections. I don't want Sabnzbd to use my regular unencrypted connection. Can anyone please help?

Are you willing and able to program yourself a bit (a few lines of code)?

Are few leaked bytes OK, or should not one single SAB byte go over the unencrypted connection?

I can try to follow instructions. If it's just a few line of code, then I think I can manage.

I don't want Sabnzbd to use non-VPN connections. If possible, I don't want a single byte to get sent over my regular unencrypted connection.
