    How to force browser to use certain Network Connection


    Hi, i hope you're all doing well
    I used to use ForceBindIp to accomplish this especially for Firefox, but for some reasons now it's not working like 3 days ago, i really have no absolute idea what changed, even though making the Launcherenabled = false which is always work, please can anyone help me if there're any alternative to launch any program especially Browsers to use my Wifi connection instead of my Lan Connection for example. thanks in advance.

    There are 2 options.

    Option 1:
    Set interface priority to prefer WI-FI instead of LAN (this applies to all programs on computer):
    Change Network Adapter Connection Priorities in Windows 10

    Option 2:
    Set up a VM (Virtual machine aka. Hyper-V in Windows), assign specific network interface (ex. WI-FI) to VM, and then install and use programs of choice within VM.
    This way programs in VM run on WI-FI, while all other programs on your computer run on LAN.

    Therefore to run web browser on WI-FI and everything else on LAN you launch VM and start web browser there.

    For more info see: Hyper-V setup

    Hi Zebal, thanks for your replay
    for the 1st solution i guess it had nothing to do with my problem cause i want to make both networks work and each network for a specific program but the link showing just how to make the priority for the network to be the one used for the whole machine and i can do that by just disactivating Lan and the PC will connect to the WIFI

    for the 2nd solution the VM, will it make my PC work more i mean do i need to have a good PC cause the VM will need more CPU and Ram for it to work? thanks

    If ForcebindIP doesn't work you can try to reinstall it.

    Alternative program is "bindip":
    GitHub - katlogic/bindip: Bind network interfaces to applications under windows (poor mans NETNS)
