I'm a long time user of Torguard on Windows machines but have recently made a change to my setup. I'm now choosing to run my VPN on an ubuntu VM (via virtualbox) on a host windows machine. My windows host I never run VPN on anymore, but my VM runs torguard VPN all the time. I've installed and am running torguard on the VM with no problems, but I want to have the extra security of making sure torrent traffic is stopped if the VPN for some reason goes down. I'm relatively new to both virtual machines and linux. I want to do one of two things, whichever is easier:
Force all traffic on the VM through torguard, stopping all network access on the VM if the VPN connection is lost OR
Force all traffic on my torclient (I'm using transmission) through torguard, stopping all torrents if the VPN connection is lost
I am familiar with how to do this on windows/qbittorrent but not with ubuntu/transmission. I've tried to follow along with some similar posts but it seems my setup is slightly different than others I've encountered. Can anyone help?
