Arthur VS vopono

Here are three hobby projects I've worked on during the last 2 years. I've written extensive guides for all of them:

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-CNC-machine A CNC-machine I built from scratch, using 40x 3d-printed parts.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch.

Here you have the complete electronic setup: https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur#electronic-components

When I set out to learn new skills, I usually try to wrap them in a project. I also try to document and open-source the whole process, both for my own learning, but to enable other to leverage my failures and learnings.

Here are the projects I've done so far:

https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor (including, code, images and tutorial). The main draft is almost done, but quite some polishing to do.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/shibusa An automatic Zen Garden drawing infinite patterns in sand. Using stepper motors, inverse kinematics and a Raspberry Pi Zero W (including, code, images and tutorial). I'm almost done building the robot, but still have quite some implementation to do. Also, the guide is far from done, I've mostly uploaded images so far.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch (including, code, images and tutorial). I don't know where you draw the life of "half baked". It's done, but there's a lot of improvements that can be done.

Vopono (https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono):

"vopono is a tool to run applications through VPN tunnels via temporary network namespaces. This allows you to run only a handful of applications through different VPNs simultaneously, whilst keeping your main connection as normal.

vopono includes built-in killswitches for both Wireguard and OpenVPN."

I think for now on Linux you (still!) have to use external application to do the splitting. Such is vopono

I use vopono to manage it for me with Mullvad though.

you might want to check out vopono, i've gotten it working with firefox and its nice

I highly recommend using something like vopono with this on Linux that runs only the target application (e.g. Transmission) in a network namespace in the VPN and only forwards the specified ports and only allows traffic via the VPN.

This is why I use vopono - you can run just the torrent client in the VPN on its own and the killswitch keeps it safe.

You can find the option in the settings of windows and android apps. Unfortunately, it's Still not available for Linux. As a workaround for Linux, you can use vopono, which has OpenVPN support for Proton. Or just manually add routing table entries :)

I wrote vopono, I use it all the time for quickly spinning up browsers through different VPNs for checking geographical restrictions, etc.
