Binding VPN, Network Interface is all wonky

Post by predatorywasp »

I'm trying to bind my VPN to qBittorrent, but this is what shows up on the Network Interface menu - looks wildly different than it does in the tutorial videos I've seen.

I'm on Mac Ventura 13.3.1. How do I bind my VPN, and why does the menu look like this? Thanks :)

1) The list depends on your OS. I don't know why OS X lists so many interfaces.
2) You have to use a technology that uses it's own interface in your VPN software. For example, OpenVPN. Then, a new interface will show up, for the OpenVPN connection which you can bind to. Not every VPN technology uses a separate interface.
