Vopono is a Rust CLI tool that runs individual applications through VPN tunnels using temporary network namespaces on Linux. It supports multiple VPN providers (Mullvad, ProtonVPN, NordVPN, etc.) simultaneously with built-in killswitches for Wireguard and OpenVPN.

Use cases

• run firefox through a VPN while keeping other traffic normal
• route different apps through different VPNs simultaneously
• per-application VPN split tunneling on linux
• run a torrent client through VPN with a killswitch
• use multiple VPN providers at the same time
• forward ports through a VPN for seeding
• connect to an enterprise VPN with OpenConnect for one app only

When to choose

• you use Linux and want per-application VPN routing without a full system VPN
• you need to run several apps through different VPN providers concurrently
• you want a killswitch that prevents traffic leaks if the VPN drops
• you need VPN port forwarding with callback hooks

When to avoid

• you are on Windows or macOS, since vopono relies on Linux network namespaces
• you want a GUI VPN client
• you need to route your entire system through a VPN rather than specific applications
• you use a VPN provider not supported and without a usable OpenVPN/Wireguard config file
