vopono VS bromite-buildtools

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.

If you're looking for a Bromite successor, right now best way is to download the uazo builds direct from GitHub: https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools There are some third party tools that will download the releases for you, but I'm fine to just manually pop by the repo whenever ungoogled-chromium[0] updates on my desktop.

Personally I use this Chromium build. Being developed by one of the guys who worked on Bromite. With all its features.

Hmm, Thorium should be fine, at the very least? Its very close to vanilla Chromium/Google Chrome, with nothing that should mess up rendering.

There are also experimental builds of Bromite (another Chrome fork that is very close to Chromium, but with a light built-in adblocker.)

Many Bromite users now are moving to this. https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools These builds are built by uazo, the primary contributor to Bromite other than Carl, the original developer

One of the Devs of Bromite has made a Chromium browser with all of Bromites features. Updated regularly as well. You can get it from here

Bromite via either its site/Fdroid, GitHub or Woolyss site has a bottom bar available in accessibility settings. (The first one has been unmaintained for a while, but has auto updates available if they ever drop. The other two are up to date but must be updated manually.)

Mull is my recommendation. If its too strict for you or breaks things, Fennec F-Droid is great too. If you need Chromium, Brave is probably the best option at the moment. You could also try uazo's build of Bromite, which is basically just a version of Bromite created by one of Bromite's developers, except up to date and with some tweaks/enhancements, though it is in beta so it could be buggy and not as refined.
