Possible to Refuse to Launch if VPN not Running?

Post by DaveDanger »

Is there a setting in Transmission on Mac or a way to add a feature or wrapper that would refuse to start the program if a VPN wasn't currently running? I think that's a detectable event in the OS. It would be useful for those of us who aren't 100% perfect in ensuring the VPN's on before firing up the program... :D

I use PrivateInternetAccess' PIA app and Transmission 4.0.1 on my Mac mini.

Within PIA, I've enabled the Killswitch - so there's no network i/o if the VPN is down.

fwiw,

Mulvad VPN also has a Killswitch and Lockdown mode for this reason. It also supports P2P over its service with Port forwarding capabilities.
