Specify Network Adapter To Use

[uBadRequest]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, I just noticed that this mofo was using my eth adapter as well as my vpn adapter. I literally saw my public ip address pop up in the peers list with the Tribler client as well as my VPN IP address.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to change the libtorrent settings to use a specific adapter and not try to listen on all adapters.(ex: 0.0.0.0)

Describe alternatives you've considered
modifying the libtorrent config manually

I second this.

Now-a-days, every torrent client has the option to specify which network to use. As you can see from screenshot

I would like to request this feature.

@absolutep, unfortunately, as far as I know, we currently do not have any plans to implement this feature.

A small update two years later. In the upcoming 8.0 release, you can specify your network interfaces through the configuration.json file. However, we don't have any GUI for this (yet). So, I will keep this issue open until that is resolved.
