What is VPN Killswitch?

It works by (you) replacing the launcher execute command with VPN Killswitch, VPN Killswitch will then launch the torrent client, so it's able to bind to it, without modifying the client core. (The desktop launcher version) also prevents the torrent application from even being launched if the VPN is not on.

If the VPN tunnel is not detected, VPN Killswitch will immediately kill the VPN client to prevent leakage of your true IP address to seeders (and to prevent broadcasting to your ISP that you're torrenting!)

Tested in Debian / Ubuntu-based Linux desktops, but will have no issues working in Fedora/CentOS-based distros. CLI version will work in any Linux server.
