rtorrent over VPN

Hi there,

I want to run rtorrent over a VPN connection.

I have used pppd to establish the connection to the VPN and set up the interface ppp0:

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:XXX.XXX.XXX.XX  P-t-P:XXX.XXX.XX.X  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1496  Metric:1
          RX packets:336 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
          RX bytes:31830 (31.8 KB)  TX bytes:96 (96.0 B)

Now I want to know how to run rtorrent and use that connection. Can anyone help me?

Well I have the standard cfg, there is nothing to define the adapter in there.

Re: rtorrent over VPN

As long as your default route points to that interface, rtorrent and any other net applications will use it.

Could you show me how to set up does default route points?

What I want most is that that only rtorrent uses that interface, but if all applications use it would be good enough I guess.

Re: rtorrent over VPN

man route has the details on default routes.

If you only want rtorrent using ppp0, look for the bind = x.x.x.x parameter in rtorrent.rc.
